Retail vs OEM[edit | edit source]

Toshiba hard drives generally are sold at either OEM or retail, with different models for each market.

Certain models are designated on this wiki as OEM models. These are the models that are likely to be sold to systems integrators such as Dell and HP. While this does not preclude these models being sold to retail customers per usual, that is not the intent for these models. Examples of these are the TOSHIBA DT01ACA100 and TOSHIBA MQ01ABD100.

Instead, other models are designated as retail models on this wiki. These models are marketed heavily towards end users, mainly by Toshiba Europe, and will never be sold to OEMs or system integrators. For example, the TOSHIBA HDWJ110 will never be installed by Dell in a laptop; instead, the MQ01ABD100 above will be used. For these models, there are various suffixes that denote the target market and packaging. For example, with HDWR480UZSVA, the UZSVA is the suffix. Other than labelling differences, retail models sometimes offered newer command sets than their parent OEM model in the past, particularly around the ACS-3 Revision 4/5 era, though OEM revisions caught up eventually. Also, strangely, only retail models are marked with the Ukraine regulatory mark (since November 2020), whereas OEM models never are.

  • UZSVA: Bulk. Only the hard drive in an anti-static bag is provided. Note that this does not mean the part is an OEM one; even though it is provided in minimal OEM-like packaging, it is still considered a retail model.
  • XZSTA: United States, in box.
  • EZSTA: Europe, in box.

Other examples of retail models include the TOSHIBA HDWD130, TOSHIBA HDWL110 and TOSHIBA HDWG460.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • Toshiba are the only hard drive manufacturer to:
    • Not disable SCTERC on any hard drive they make (Western Digital and Seagate both disable SCTERC, usually on PC drives to enforce purchasing of NAS-grade hard drives for RAID use).
    • Segregate retail and OEM models, targeting each respective market with different models (for example, the retail market gets the TOSHIBA HDWD110, whereas OEMs get the DT01ACA100).
