I’ve got a 2TB WD Elements external hard drive that I shucked. The PCB has a USB connector on it. I’d like to replace the PCB with one that has a SATA connection. Can this be done? Specifically it’s a wd20nmvw

    I believe that each HDD PCB contains calibration for the platters and heads and needs to be calibrated if changed as the alignment and mechanical properties are unique for each drive or maybe that’s just the case for platter transplants, can’t quite remember and that was many years ago.
