Enterprise Drive Model Guide
Internal reference / RFQ workflow
The photographed Ultrastar DC HC550 label provides a complete 16TB SATA model and part number. Keep both strings, the sector format and the target platform together instead of requesting an unspecified HC550 or 16TB enterprise HDD.

Evidence scope
Selected first-party images document representative OEM and manufacturer labels. Final model, part number, availability, condition, health evidence, firmware, sector format, carrier, platform compatibility, warranty, packing and quotation remain order-specific.
Model-specific request
Use the exact photographed model as the request anchor, then complete the platform and unit-level checks.
| Comparison point | Photographed label | Buyer must confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Model and part | WUH721816ALE6L4 / 0F38462 | Exact requested identifiers |
| Capacity and interface | 16TB, SATA 6 Gb/s | Controller and backplane path |
| Format context | 512e model | Array and operating-system support |
| Condition and health | Not established by the label | Quoted-unit evidence scope |
The table separates photographed label fields from procurement checks. It does not confirm current stock, quoted-unit condition, health, firmware, sector format, compatibility or warranty.
01
The photographed label shows model WUH721816ALE6L4 and P/N 0F38462. Western Digital's official part-number selector identifies that pair within the 16TB HC550 SATA range. Keep both fields because a family and capacity search can surface SAS, security and sector-format variants.
02
The official selector documents WUH721816ALE6L4 as a 512e SATA 6 Gb/s base model. Do not transfer that format to another HC550 suffix. Record the host-visible format, controller or HBA, backplane and current array members before a replacement or capacity-expansion decision.
03
HC550 suffixes can carry different interface and power-disable details. Confirm the server or enclosure wiring, backplane behavior and applicable model documentation before installation. A drive that does not power up in one enclosure should not be diagnosed from capacity or connector appearance alone.
04
The label photo is an identification reference, not proof of current inventory or health. State whether the RFQ requires new, open-box, recertified or used-tested supply, then define the available SMART output, power-on data, error history, surface-test scope and sampling rule required before PI.
05
Include WUH721816ALE6L4 and 0F38462, quantity, target condition, server or enclosure, controller, sector format, array context, destination and requested evidence. Final availability, condition, test scope, packing and quotation are confirmed per order.
First-party evidence
These first-party images document representative product, inspection, packing, shipping, tracking or policy evidence, as applicable to this guide. Final order evidence is confirmed separately.
Manufacturer references
Manufacturer references support documented family facts. They do not confirm Beihang stock, unit condition, compatibility, warranty, or quotation terms.
