I have 2 HDDs, one is a SATA drive which port got broken, the other one has a bad motor inside.
So my question is can I switch the controller to the SATA one from the other one?

Sata broken port SN: s2 rev, a1a2276
bad motor SN: zs rev3, A8A0936
 
Solution
gererally speaking, no you can´t.

But there might be some rare combinations that could work. Which HDD brand and model is it?
The HDDs have to be almost the same. Brand of course, capacity, cache,...
