which parameters do I need to make usre heads from donor are compatible with patient.

for Seagate hdd's:
donor driver should be the same model with same firmware also it is better to have same site code.
some users say that it should have the same head pattern!(to see head's pattern you should have a microscope).

for WD hdd's see this post:

For seagate, match Site code. It is preferred to match also first 3 letters of SN (assuming donor is from same family), but if Site code is a good match probably donor will be ok with few exceptions
