Western Digital HS00949 5-Year Gold Hardware Service

Maintain the stated 60+8, 480 TB HWS configuration under a Gold hardware-service designation for five years. Western Digital HS00949 is a service entitlement tied to that defined configuration. Its ordering description associates the service term, Gold level, 480 TB capacity, and 60+8 HWS designation in one service offering, making the covered system configuration the central selection criterion. Use this service entitlement where the installed HWS system matches the 60+8 and 480 TB description. The five-year covered period establishes the duration associated with the Gold service level. The capacity and configuration references are part of the service scope, so the system being maintained should correspond to both identifiers rather than only to a similar hardware platform or capacity class. Gold identifies the named service tier, while hardware service identifies the character of the offering. HS00949 therefore applies to continuing service coverage for the specified HWS configuration, not to adding storage capacity or changing the hardware layout. Match the existing system's 60+8 configuration and 480 TB capacity to this entitlement when selecting the appropriate service term. The product is most relevant where a five-year Gold service period is required for that specific hardware scope.
