This is a list of Western Digital customer codes. A Western Digital customer code is the first two digits of the identifier, for example, -75Z10T0, where the "75" indicates a drive intended for Dell. Many customer coded hard drives will add additional details to the label requested by customers of that drive; sometimes, extra SMART parameters are added as well (most of these are tracked by all units, but hidden in firmware; some customers un-hide the given attributes).
List of customer codes
| Code | Customer/Purpose | Changes (versus standard units) | Example image |
|---|---|---|---|
| 00 | Standard (mainstream) |  | |
| 08 | Lenovo | Adds Lenovo-specific numbering, including FRU, PN, and extra details such as LBA, FW version and spindle speed. SMART attributes unhidden are unpredictable and depend entirely on the model of drive. | |
| 11 | Internal Use | Changes label to a white colour, regardless of the original drive's (on newer drives with new logo). Adds "Not For Resale" (old logo)/"NOT FOR RESALE" (new logo) to label for many. | |
| 14 | Panasonic | Un-hides the spindle speed (for IntelliPower era drives). |  |
| 16 | Fujitsu | ||
| 17 | MSI | ||
| 21 | Acer | Unhides BF G-Sense Error Rate. |  |
| 22 | Second tier OEM |  | |
| 23 | IBM | Adds IBM-specific numbering, including FRU, IBM SN and PN. | |
| 24 | Lenovo | Adds Lenovo-specific numbering, including FRU, PN, and extra details such as LBA and spindle speed. SMART attributes unhidden are unpredictable and depend entirely on the model of drive. | |
| 26 | Sony | Adds Sony-specific part number, as well as extra details such as FW version. Unhides BF G-Sense Error Rate. |  |
| 40 | Apple | Adds an Apple logo to a part of the drive. On newer drives (for example, WDC WD10EZES-xxUFAAx), turns the label entirely black and white. | |
| 55 | A/V class | Not actually used on AV hard drives; usually used with early Caviar SE. |  |
| 59 | Internal Use | Changes label to a white colour, regardless of the original drive's. Adds "NOT FOR RESALE" to label. Generally used interchangeably with the 11 customer code, and can only appear on the new logo. | |
| 60 | HP | Adds HP-specific details such as CT, PN, as well as firmware version. Unhides B8 End-to-End Error, BB Reported Uncorrectable Errors, BD High Fly Writes and BE Airflow Temperature, but may or may not hide C2 Temperature. | |
| 63 | Standard (CE/AV-GP) |  | |
| 68 | Standard (NAS/Red) | ||
| 75 | Dell | Adds Dell-specific numbering, such as a Dell serial number and DP/N. Adds QR code. Adds interface (omitted on 2.5" drives), capacity, spindle speed and firmware version (actually last two characters of ID code) in a box similar to drives produced by Toshiba and Seagate for Dell. Unhides F0 Head Flying Hours, F1 Total Host Writes and F2 Total Host Reads; additionally, on 2.5" drives, BF G-Sense Error Rate is unhidden and FE Free Fall Protection is added (not unhidden). | |
