Product overview
Part number WUH721818AL5204 identifies this Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC550 18TB 7200RPM SAS 12Gb/s 512MB cache 3.5-Inch hard Drive. 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.
Tell us the deadline you are working to and we will say whether it is achievable before you commit to it internally.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
WUH721818AL5204 is what is quoted and WUH721818AL5204 is what ships; where an alternate code is genuinely the same part we name it rather than swap it silently.

Tell us the chassis you run and we will keep the spare consistent with what is already in the shelf.
Compatibility checked
We confirm the part is supported on your platform before it ships, rather than leaving the check to you.
Questions buyers ask about this part
- Is WUH721818AL5204 genuine and is the warranty intact?
- Yes. Supplied new and unopened, so the manufacturer warranty and firmware update path stay supported. No grey-market stock and no refurbished units sold as new.
- Will WUH721818AL5204 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. We quote against a purchase order and hold the price for the quote period, with tiered rates at quantity. Net terms are available once the account is approved.

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