Using SalvationDATA Hitachi kit. By HddSoEasy on 2008
OK, here is the thing. My clients often bring me password-protected IBM/HITACHI HDDs for data recovery, so recently I went to purchase HDD DOCTOR FOR IBM/HITACHI from SalvationDATA. I wanna say that this tool is really cool, but, well, I also found that there is a flaw with it [...]
Patient:
Model: ST3500320AS
S/N: 9QM4EXJT
P/N: 9BX143-303
Firmware: SD15
Date Code: 08501
Site Code: KRATSG
Country of Manifacture: Thailand
Donor:
Model: ST3500320AS
S/N: 9QM8QNHD
P/N: 9BX143-303
Firmware: SD15
Date Code: 09192
Site Code: KRATSG
Country of Manifacture: Thailand
Performed in Clean Room
Outcome: Success – Recovery in Progress
We usually use CPR head combs, but in this case we removed donor heads, inserted paper
after heads touched, and then slid back onto patient and platters [...]
Simple data recovery process—One key recovery:
Simple-to-use data recovery from corrupt/damaged drives: You even DO NOT NEED any firmware backup to support your job, make it a integrative solution, even when: drive is not identified or identified incorrectly in the BIOS; read-only problem that does not allow write operation (type 43, 47 firmware zone malfunction). Save your [...]

Used For: Maxtor Disk Firmware Repair
A freeware of SalvationDATA aiming at solution for typical firmware malfunction of Maxtor 541DX (2B020H1 2B010H1), which may manifest itself as follows: 1. HDD is not identified or identified by its factory alias “Maxtor Athena”; 2. HDD starts the motor and then hangs.

There is a summing-up about the compatibility for original and donor drives.
1. Maxtor
Firmware compatible
1. Same Code number
2. Same Model number
3. Same first three SN number.
As the above picture show, if we want to find the donor drive, the parameter should be same as follow:
Model: 4R060L, Code: RAMC1TUO, SN: R2Sxxxxx.
PCB compatible
The first thing to consider while searching [...]
It has been estimated that over 200 companies were hard disk drive manufacturers at one time or another. Besides competing on features such as hard disk (HDD) data density and latencies, many of those companies started to support new, smaller form factors that enabled the ever-reducing physical sizes of computing devices. Most of that industry has [...]
The technological resources and know-how required for modern drive development and production mean that as of 2009, virtually all of the world’s HDDs are manufactured by just six large companies: Seagate, Western Digital, Hitachi (which owns the former disk manufacturing division of IBM), Samsung, Fujitsu, and Toshiba.
Dozens of former HDD manufacturers have gone out of business, [...]
HDDs record data by magnetizing ferromagnetic material directionally, to represent either a 0 or a 1 binary digit. They read the data back by detecting the magnetization of the material. A typical HDD design consists of a spindle which holds one or more flat circular disks called platters, onto which the data are recorded. The platters [...]
A hard disk drive(often shortened as “hard disk”, “hard drive”, or “HDD”), is a non-volatile storage device which stores digitally encoded data on rapidly rotating platters with magnetic surfaces. Strictly speaking, “drive” refers to a device distinct from its medium, such as a tape drive and its tape, or a floppy disk drive and its floppy [...]
