Hello
how can I find a "very" identical Hd (WD passport 1 Tb for mac) for spare parts. I need a working head for exchange or in worst case I have to swap platter. Is the only way via "Ebay".
Is it sufficient to compare the P/N Number? To find an identical hd I think is more or less impossible - so how close is adequate and what is in this case the definition of "close" respectively in terms of the P/N number?
Sorry for this bunch of question. Thanks a lot!

I assume you are trying to recover some important data from a broken drive. I'd suggest going for something with a matching model number, but even that seems a bit of a lottery. I assume they make a Passport by throwing a 2.5" laptop drive into a plastic case, so they could be sourcing the drives from multiple manufacturers.
