	'''Western Digital Internal Use''' is a hard drive family created by [[Western Digital]]. The family is designed only for use within external USB enclosures sealed at the factory and sold to retail, though many, especially the 3.5" drives, are popularly targeted for "shucking" for use in desktops or NASes. The 3.5" ~~sizes~~ are also unofficially known as '''Western Digital White Label''' drives within the shucking community, after the eponymous white label, a significant departure to the colourful labels normally used by retail and OEM WD drives.		'''Western Digital Internal Use''' is a hard drive family created by [[Western Digital]]. The family is designed only for use within external USB enclosures sealed at the factory and sold to retail, though many, especially the 3.5" drives, are popularly targeted for "shucking" for use in desktops or NASes as an alternative to bare drives that are more expensive, despite being binned for purpose. The 3.5" drive models of this family are also unofficially known as '''Western Digital White Label''' drives within the shucking community, after the eponymous white label that all drives in this family bear, a significant departure to the colourful labels normally used by retail and OEM WD drives.

	Although any drive with a [[List of Western Digital customer codes\|customer code]] of 11 or 59 is usually labelled as a Internal Use drive, they shall not be classified as such on this wiki if the drive model, without its 11 or 59 customer code, would be part of any other family. For example, a [[WDC WD10SPZX-xxZ10Tx\|WD10SPZX-11Z10T0]], despite being labelled as an Internal Use drive, would not qualify for this family, as the WD10SPZX-21Z10T0, with a different customer code, [[:File:WD10SPZX-21Z10T0 top down view.jpg\|does ''not'' carry an Internal Use label]].		Although any drive with a [[List of Western Digital customer codes\|customer code]] of 11 or 59 is usually labelled as a Internal Use drive due to being intended for external hard drives, they shall not be classified as such on this wiki if the drive model, without its 11 or 59 customer code, would be part of any other family. For example, a [[WDC WD10SPZX-xxZ10Tx\|WD10SPZX-11Z10T0]], despite being labelled as an Internal Use drive, would not qualify for this family, as the WD10SPZX-21Z10T0, with a different customer code, [[:File:WD10SPZX-21Z10T0 top down view.jpg\|does ''not'' carry an Internal Use label]], and instead a Blue one, making it part of that family instead.
