looking for WD5000LMVW Hubble LT equivalent

[osity]

Anyone have a good SATA alternative model for the USB drive WD WD5000LMVW?
Looking for compatible HSA.

I'm pretty sure WD5000LPVT works. I can verify it tomorrow if nobody else confirms by then.

That would be nice if it did. I have a few of those.
Although I believe the HSA PCB connector is quite different but not sure. In the lmvw the connector extends underneath the magnet.
Actually they do look to be the same families.... If you could verify the connector that would be great.

This is a Hubble WD5000LPVT-75G33T0

Beautiful... looks good to me!

Thank you.

Wait! Is your WD5000LMVW a Hubble or Hubble LT?
WD5000LPVT-75G33T0 is Hubble
WD5000LPVX is Hubble LT.
The HSA fits between WD5000LPVX and WD5000LPVT but I have never tested heads between the 2 different Families.

Hello Osity ,
Boss i am sure you can get USB drive also quite easily for this sir .One of the problems i have seem in these drives is that from the 2 one head gets totally dead .I will check your part no on monday once i am into office

Hubble LT uses an aerial density of 1480, whereas Hubble is 1420. Maybe it'll work, but I've got my doubts. Generally when I've crossed families with heads it's always been families that have the same aerial density.

For other Hubble LT models you might consider any of the following:

WD5000LMVW-__VEDS_ (the _ characters vary)
WD5000LPVT-__FMCT_
WD5000LPVX-__V0TT_

I know this is an old thread, but I can confirm;

Patient:
WD5000LMVW-11CKRS0 (Hubble)

Donor:
WD5000LPVX-28V0TT0 (Hubble LT)

With matching DCM and country are compatible.
