Product overview
Part number 0F38462 identifies this Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC550 16TB 7200RPM SATA 3.5" HDD. Rebuild time scales with capacity, so a large drive in a parity group is a longer window of exposure — this one spins at 7200RPM. Tell us the RAID level and group size and we will say plainly whether the geometry still makes sense.
Send the quantity you need and we will come back within 48 business hours with availability confirmed, not estimated.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
Quoted and supplied against 0F38462 specifically, so what arrives is what your build sheet asks for.
No substitutions without asking
If we cannot supply the exact code we tell you what we can supply and why, rather than shipping an equivalent and letting you find out.
Firmware family matched
A mechanically identical drive with the wrong firmware is rejected by the controller; we check the family, not just the capacity.
Questions buyers ask about this part
- Is 0F38462 genuine and is the warranty intact?
- Yes — new and sealed, with the Western Digital warranty and the firmware update path intact. We do not sell refurbished stock as new, and we do not source grey-market units.
- Will 0F38462 work in my server?
- Send the server model or the shelf it is going into. Vendor-keyed firmware is the usual reason an identical-looking drive is rejected, so we check that alongside interface and form factor.
- Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
- Yes — POs from qualified organisations, net terms on approval, and banded pricing once the quantity is worth banding. Send the number and we will price it properly.

Specifying a system, not just the part?
Bulk capacity usually sits behind the flash tier that feeds a training cluster rather than under it.
