Any time you are looking for donor parts for a drive, it is best to get as close of a match as possible. Our competitors at DonorDrives have put together a wonderful matching guide which is required reading for anybody in data recovery. You’re a smart cookie, just use their guide for matching and then come back here for the lower prices ;). If you have questions about compatibility, we will do our best to answer them, just get in touch.
PCBs generally only require the same model of board but not the same revision, sometimes there are differences within the same model (such as a different motor controller), so a visual comparison is always in order. Keep in mind that the ROM will need to be swapped in almost all cases either with software or a reflow station.
We sell our products directly to data recovery professionals who generally know what they’re doing, so we do not guarantee compatibility of any part for any particular purpose. What we do guarantee is that our devices are in good working condition.
