USB Hard Drive PCB and SATA Cross-Reference

Use this tool to look up documented SATA alternatives for Western Digital, Toshiba, and Samsung USB hard drive PCBs. You can search by a full or shortened board number, controller, family, or drive model.

The results are a technical reference intended to help evaluate possible board relationships. They do not guarantee compatibility. Review every condition shown on the card before replacing a PCB, transferring ROM data, or attempting a manual conversion.

Understanding the match types

The correct procedure depends on the relationship shown for the board:

  • Direct SATA alternative: A SATA PCB documented as a possible replacement for the USB board. Using it may require transferring the original ROM data and meeting family-specific compatibility requirements.
  • Conditional SATA alternative: The SATA board should only be considered when the conditions shown on the card are satisfied, such as drive model, capacity, or PCB revision.
  • Manual SATA conversion: The original USB PCB is modified to expose its SATA connection through board-specific points while bypassing the USB path. The procedure varies between boards and must follow the layout of the exact PCB.
  • Technical access only: The method may allow a professional tool to identify the drive or access its service area without making the user data readable.

Frequently asked questions

Can a USB hard drive PCB be replaced with a SATA PCB?

Yes, when a documented SATA alternative exists. The replacement may still require transferring the original ROM data and verifying the family, controller, and any conditions listed on the card.

Is a matching PCB number enough?

No. A board number identifies the general design but does not guarantee compatibility by itself. Check the complete number, revision, family, controller, model, and capacity whenever those conditions apply.

Why might the drive fail to work after a PCB replacement?

Possible causes include missing or damaged original ROM data, an incompatible donor board, dependency on the original controller, or another fault involving the heads or service area.

Where can I find the hard drive PCB number?

It is normally printed directly on the circuit board. A complete number such as 2060-800041-002 identifies the PCB more precisely, while a shortened number such as 800041 is useful for an initial search.

When is a ROM transfer required, and when might it not be enough?

ROM data contains drive-specific adaptive information and may need to be transferred physically or programmed onto the replacement PCB. On some modern drives, ROM alone may not be enough when readable user data also depends on the original controller or encryption implementation.

What is the difference between a direct alternative and a manual conversion?

A direct alternative replaces the USB board with a compatible SATA PCB and applies the required adaptation procedure. A manual conversion keeps the original USB PCB and modifies its connection path to provide SATA access.
