I sold an old 640GB 2.5" SATA hard drive on eBay, only to accidentally pull too hard on the data cable and ripping out the data connector.
I've cancelled the eBay listing, and have been browsing for a new PCB to replace the one I broke, and came across a PCB from the same model drive, but with a lower storage capacity.
The drive I found has bad sectors so it's being sold cheaply (I only need the PCB, so it's exactly what I need), however the drive is a 160GB model and my own drive is 640GB. I've verified that they are the same model drive, just with a different capacity.
Would I be able to use the PCB from the 160GB model on my 640GB model? Would I get the full drive (590Gb-or so), or would it not work?
