Model and part number

This page is the customer-orderable model number WUH722424ALE6L4; the same drive is also carried in Western Digital’s inventory systems under the part number 0F62796. Both identify this one 24TB SATA 6Gb/s HC580 unit and are cross-referenced here so a quote can be matched by either code.

What this page does and does not state

The Ultrastar DC HC580 data sheet prints eight order codes across two capacity columns (24TB and 22TB) and two interfaces. The spindle speed, buffer, recording technology, workload, reliability and warranty figures above are shared across that table. What differs by row, and what is asserted only for this row, is the formatted capacity (24TB), the interface (SATA 6Gb/s), the model number, the part number and the data-security option; other row-dependent columns of the table (areal density, sustained transfer rate, power figures) are not restated here. The MTBF is given by the manufacturer as a projected estimate, not a measured value. The manufacturer publishes no temperature-grade/qualification standard or lifecycle statement for this family, so none is claimed here.
