What this document does and does not state

WD60EFPX is a single orderable part number within the WD Red Plus family. The data sheet lists several WD Red Plus capacities and model codes as separate orderable part numbers; the figures shown here are for this one code only. The data sheet prints a per-model Recording Technology row with CMR for this line and a Limited warranty row of three years, but it does not print a sector-format designation beyond “Advanced Format (AF): Yes”, so no 512e/512n claim is made. Sustained (internal) transfer rates are deliberately not asserted: the manufacturer’s own data-sheet and product-page figures disagree for some models. The data sheet publishes no temperature-grade or qualification standard and no lifecycle status for this line, so those are intentionally not asserted here.
