Advices for a not exact donor ST1500LM010

[recovery]

Hello,

We need a donor to do a head swap for a
SAMSUNG
ST1500LM010
HN-M151RAD/SBZ

We are not able to find any donor. We would like to know if we can try with a ST1500LM006 (we found many of them with the PN HN-M151RAD/*** (the last 3 letters differ).

Here some pictures:

You can read out the preamp type in terminal when the drives are powered on. That should give you a good idea if it'll be a compatible matched drive.

Hello,

The drive stays busy, here is the terminal output. What parameter is the most efficiency to check a compatible drive?

Thank you!

Source of the post Thank you!

Also, it is not guaranteed, but most of the time if you you match the H26A in the middle of the barcode P/N at bottom of label you have a good chance of preamp matching too.

Thanks, I will try to find a donor.
