looking for a donor WD10EALS-00Z8A0

Possibly, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I've had times where heads from the same model wouldn't work, but heads from another same family one did. But you could also end up getting a drive with a different headmap, preamp, etc. It's all a game of educated guesses.

Thanks Luca, I added those to my identified families list: viewtopic.php?f=25&t=636&p=1430#p1430

i believe you probably forgot to add to the list the main drive on this topic: ..Z8A.

You know I just noticed that I have ..Z8A. and ..Z2A. down as Atlantis PL family. Possibly it's a mistake, can anyone verify for sure which family these belong to. I don't think I actually have these drives, just some collected resources.
