    WDs model number format simplifies inventory management
    for distributors and system manufacturers. Capacity points are
    key to this format.
    Base Model Number
    The base model number is composed of six codes:
    1. Company initials (WD)
    2. Capacity (GB/TB)
    3. Capacity unit/form factor
    4. Business unit/brand
    5. RPM/buffer size or attribute
    6. Interface/connector
    Model Numbers Retail Channel
    Internal Drives
    External Drives (non-portable)
    Portable External Drives
    Branded Products (Accessories)
    Subsequent updates to these definitions will be available
    through WDs Oracle Collaboration Suite; WD intranet access is
    required. To access the document, go to DMS
    (wdscofsweb.wdc.com:7778/files/app), log on with your user
    name and password, enter 2096-001056 in the Part Number
    field, and click Find Document.
    Model Number Suffix Distribution Channel
    The model number suffix (characters to the right of the dash
    following the model number) is only for in-house use. Refer to
    document number 2096-000101.
    Model Number Codes
    1 Company Initials
    WD
    2 Capacity
    Two, three, or four digits, supports up to 999.9.
    In the new format designation beginning September 2007 for 1 TB
    and larger drives (see model number code 3), the decimal follows the
    first digit (e.g., WD1000FYPS is a 1 TB capacity drive).
    Enterprise uses the last digit of the capacity number as a product
    code (e.g., WD5001ABYS). This digit does not translate to additional
    capacity/LBAs.
