Product overview
This is the Western Digital blue PC desktop hard Drive 8TB 5640RPM SATA 256MB cache 3.5-Inch, order code WD80EAAZ. Vendor-keyed firmware is the usual reason a mechanically identical drive is rejected by the controller, and a 8TB spare is not worth discovering that on. We check the firmware family against your controller before the drive ships.
No price is published here because the market for this part moves week to week; ask and we will give you a current one rather than a stale one.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
Quoted and supplied against WD80EAAZ specifically, so what arrives is what your build sheet asks for.
Firmware family matched
A mechanically identical drive with the wrong firmware is rejected by the controller; we check the family, not just the capacity.
Spares held to a fleet standard
Tell us the chassis you run and we will keep the spare consistent with what is already in the shelf.
Questions buyers ask about this part
Is WD80EAAZ genuine and is the warranty intact?
Yes. It ships new in Western Digital packaging, which is what keeps the warranty and the firmware entitlement valid. Anything we cannot supply that way we tell you about before you order.
Will WD80EAAZ 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.
