Might be trivial to swap but it probably wont work.

I had a Fujitsu drive with a faulty controller card (known manufacturing fault)
Fujitsu support said it might work but it is unlikely, I would have to match
the exact model and bios revision, which I did. It still did not work, this
is because platter metrics are burned into the chips when the drive is built.
