DCM: Locate the J or 2 within the DCM (it is towards the end of the value).It is okay for the donor hard drive to have more head readers than the patient as long as the pacient has the platters to support the heads however above all the head readers present need to be identical (this value can only be obtained with specialized tools). Heads Map: The donor needs an identical physical map of the head readers (Column PH - Physical Heads).Model Number (or MDL): The first part must match and in the second part, at least the three characters indicated in red must also match.Use the following criteria to find a donor hard drive: They can be differentiated by having a rather square PCB (printed circuit board) compared with the current "L" shaped PCBs. In general these hard drives are older than 10 years. These values normally do not affect the outcome but can be considered when choosing between more than one compatible doner hard drive. Matching this information can improve the chances of compatibility. Often this is required to match to achieve compatibility. The donor will not be compatible without matching this information. Your label can be different, depending on the date of manufacture or the specific product line the hard drive belongs to.Ĭhances that a donor hard drive which is 100% compatible are low, which is why we have prioritised the parameters as follows: We have included an example of the labels for each brand highlighting which codes and numbers are to be searched for. You can see a part of this information (we have filters, and other records that are not publicly accessible) here: We also have our own hard drive bank (that forms a part of the global network) perfectly cataloged and standardized. It is also useful to be aware that a large part of the information and specifications needed are only provided by Hard drive banks dedicated to providing laboratories around the would with donor hard drives.

Take note that various parameters are essential (such as the configuration of the Head Readers or pre-amplification values) and can only be achieved with highly specialised hardware and software tools, like the ones we have in our laboratory. Please note that there is no way to garuantee that a donor hard drive will be 100% compatible, however these guidelines will increase the likelihood of the donor hard drive being adequate. The following are guidelines to maximize compatibility when searching for Head Readers, which is necessary to perform a Head change during the data recovery process. These spare parts must be obtained from another compatible hard drive, for which the data recovery engineers are tasked with sourcing so they can replace the broken piece of the patient hard drive, this has to be done in a Certified Clean Room (see Our Tools), to not run the risk of contamination. When a hard drive is damaged physically, unforntunately spare parts can not be found inside domestic computers or electronics.
