- Data-recovery labs seeking matching donor hard drives
- Worth noticing
- The sample listing includes model, DCM, firmware, serial, capacity, PCB number, and a stated wipe status.
Field notes
The matching guide explains why drive-family details matter: the model suffix must match, and the page says DCM or site codes identify factory components such as heads, preamp, and motor. Firmware is called out as especially important for PCB swaps and some Seagate families. A sample listing includes a PCB identifier and a CA$65 price; the seller states that drives are sold as parts donors and are not warranted to hold data.
