Swap HDD platters, what model?

[m_zeid]

Hello,
I have Hitachi 1TB hdd with this model number: hdt721010sla360

I didn't find the same model but found: HDS721010CLA332
So can I use it? and what if I swap the platter with it's PCB? shouldn't that solve the model problem?

Oh and another thing, before I get in swapping the platters, can I swap te PCB first? and if not work go for platters but I'm worry if putting a PCB of other model can damage anything from hardware to data?

BTW the hdd is clicking and not recognised by bios, it is exremly dead.

You need to find the exact same model hard disk. Depending on what's wrong, swapping the PCB may resolve the issue, but you can't open the drive and swap platters unless you have access to a clean room (and I doubt you'd be able to get the data back if you moved the platters to another slightly different drive). It always is easier to backup data on a regular basis. If your data is important, don't attempt to do recover it yourself as you may permanently damage the drive. Send it to a reputable data recovery service.

...and you can't swap the circuit boards on a lot of modern hard drives because the boards contain flash memory that holds calibration parameters tailored to the platters inside the drive.
