List of Western Digital customer codes
From Computing Classics Wiki
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 | Warranty Status description | Changes (versus standard units) and notes | Example image |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 00 | Standard (mainstream) | STD
|
 | |
| 01 | Standard (enterprise) | |||
| 07 | FSC (possibly Fujitsu Siemens Computers) | FSC
|
Adds two P/Ns, labelled "P/N 1" and "P/N 2". | |
| 08 | Lenovo | 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 | N/A | 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). Locks the interface speed to 150 MB/s, regardless of the drive's normal SATA interface link speed (for example, a WD10EURX-14UY4Y0 will be reduced to 150 MB/s speed, despite normally performing at SATA 600 MB/s rates). |  | |

| 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. | ||

| 35 | Samsung | SAMSUNG
