Quick Take
Quick Take: Huawei's price list dated 9 October 2026 lowers 63 OceanDisk SSD lines (model prefix HSSD-O) by 17.8% to 31.5% on USD LIST, against 1 September. Dorado array drives and eKitStor twins stay flat. For a China bid that means rechecking the HSSD-O rows and the 限价, not cutting every SSD line by a quarter. RMB pricing is pending confirmation.
What changed on the 9 October 2026 price list?
Quick Answer: The Huawei Dorado price list went from 4,046 lines on 1 September 2026 to 4,092 on 9 October: 89 part numbers added and 43 removed. Of 4,003 retained lines, 64 changed and all 64 went down: 63 OceanDisk SSD components and one 64GB DDR4 module. The other 3,939 retained lines are unchanged.
Definition: the list is Huawei's English price list in US dollars. It is a reference LIST, not a domestic RMB channel price and not a 13% special VAT invoice amount. A China project uses it to sanity-check quotes and tender ceilings. Whether domestic channel prices move the same way is pending confirmation on a dated quote.
Typical use case: an integrator's September bid for a server cluster lists 24 OceanDisk 300P PCIe 4.0 7.68TB drives at a price derived from USD 17,120 LIST. On the October list each line is 12,350 — 24 × 4,770 = USD 114,480 of LIST difference. A reviewer comparing bids may spot it before you do. This is a typical bid pattern, not a named customer.
- Fit: 政企 and integrator bids that name OceanDisk 300P, 300S, 116P, SP 460, SP 560 or LC 560; server or 信创 node builds on Huawei SSD components; Pacific expansions quoted in September.
- Unfit: Dorado BOMs whose drives are all array lines (D3V6, D5V6, D8V6, D18V6, D*V7) — unchanged; anyone looking for a market-wide SSD price drop (TrendForce projects enterprise SSD contract prices up 23–28% in 4Q26).
Which OceanDisk lines were cut, and by how much?
Quick Answer: All 64 HSSD-O lines changed: 63 cut and 1 renumbered. The deepest cut is OceanDisk 300S 7.68TB, −31.5% to USD 13,029. The 300P PCIe 4.0 3.84TB falls 31.0% to 6,255. The LC 560 61.44TB QLC drive falls 27.4% to 69,064. The shallowest cut is the 300S 960GB at −17.8%.
| Part number | Description | Sep LIST (USD) | Oct LIST (USD) | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 02356PFV | OceanDisk 300S 7.68TB SAS | 19,033 | 13,029 | −31.5% |
| 02356URB | OceanDisk 300P PCIe 4.0 3.84TB | 9,064 | 6,255 | −31.0% |
| 02356YFS | OceanDisk 116P PCIe 5.0 15.36TB | 26,687 | 19,051 | −28.6% |
| 02356URD | OceanDisk 300P PCIe 4.0 7.68TB | 17,120 | 12,350 | −27.9% |
| 02552467 | OceanDisk LC 560 61.44TB (QLC) | 95,167 | 69,064 | −27.4% |
| 02552312 | OceanDisk SP 560 15.36TB | 33,233 | 25,115 | −24.4% |
| 02356GJE | OceanDisk 300P PCIe 5.0 7.68TB | 15,861 | 12,377 | −22.0% |
| 02356YNN | OceanDisk 300S 960GB SAS | 2,568 | 2,111 | −17.8% |
The renumbered line is the 300P PCIe 5.0 6.4TB: 02357FHC (USD 15,861) left the list and 02356GJB arrived with the same description at 12,377. Use the new code on the bid; the old one cannot be ordered.
Which drives did not move?
Quick Answer: Of 609 SSD lines on the October list, 532 kept their September LIST, 63 were cut and 14 are new. Every drive built for Dorado arrays stays flat — D5V6-SSD-NVMe-3.84T at USD 34,700, D8V6-SSD-NVMe-3.84T at 46,600 — along with all 34 eKitStor HSSD-E lines and all 3 HSSD-S lines.
Like a fuel price board where only diesel dropped: if the fleet runs on petrol, nothing changed. On a Dorado 5000 bid, the drive rows are D5V6 array drives. A reviewer who writes “Huawei SSD down 25%, cut the whole storage line” is reading the wrong pump.
| Drive group | Model pattern | Oct vs Sep |
|---|---|---|
| OceanDisk SSD components | HSSD-O… | 63 cut, 1 renumbered |
| eKitStor SSD lines | HSSD-E… | 34 flat |
| Dorado array drives | D3V6 / D5V6 / D8V6 / D18V6 / D*V7 | Flat |
| Other array and OEM drives | L3- / L4- / H- / HSSD-…-COM | Flat |
Is the eKitStor line an equal row on the deviation sheet?
Quick Answer: Write it as a separate row. eKitStor-branded lines match OceanDisk lines on series and capacity and had identical LIST in September. In October only OceanDisk was cut. A 300P PCIe 4.0 3.84TB now lists at USD 6,255 as OceanDisk and 9,064 as eKitStor, a 45% gap.
| Series and capacity | OceanDisk (cut) | eKitStor (flat) | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| 300P PCIe 4.0 3.84TB | 02356URB · 6,255 | 02553972 · 9,064 | +45% |
| 300P PCIe 5.0 7.68TB | 02356GJE · 12,377 | 02356GHS · 15,861 | +28% |
| SP 560 15.36TB | 02552312 · 25,115 | 02553978 · 33,233 | +32% |
| LC 560 15.36TB | 02552450 · 19,959 | 02553979 · 26,687 | +34% |
For a 双规比选 technical deviation table, put both part numbers in the same row and let price, stock and server fit decide. Which line fits your server, and which is in stock, is pending confirmation. The list does not say why one family was cut.
Why does one 64GB DDR4 code cost 57% less?
Quick Answer: Three codes carry the same 64GB DDR4 RDIMM 3200 2Rank description. 02510883 fell from USD 15,306 to 6,582 (−57%). 02314QDS stays at 15,306. 02510279 is new at 15,306. A bid line that says only “64GB DDR4” can land on either price. Which platform each code fits is pending confirmation.
On a 16-module order the LIST gap is 16 × 8,724 = USD 139,584. Put the part number on the bid and ask the supplier to confirm it fits the chassis before you count the saving.
Which OceanStor Pacific chassis codes disappeared?
Quick Answer: Eleven Pacific 9350 and 9550 chassis codes were removed and eleven added with the same descriptions, mostly 2–9% lower. Four lower-LIST codes — 02357QNX, 02357QNY, 02357QNW and 02357QNU — have no lower successor. The nearest same-spec October lines are 28–34% higher, for example 02357QNX at 122,730 versus 02355RDA at 164,389.
| Configuration | Removed · Sep LIST | Successor · Oct LIST |
|---|---|---|
| Pacific 9550, 512GB | 02354YGR · 231,206 | 02353VMG · 210,274 (−9.1%) |
| Pacific 9350, 320GB | 02355SJF · 173,715 | 02355RDA · 164,389 (−5.4%) |
| Pacific 9350, 320GB | 02357QNX · 122,730 | Nearest 02355RDA · 164,389 (+34%) |
| Pacific 9350, 512GB | 02357QNY · 164,097 | Nearest 02355HNC · 215,757 (+31%) |
The list does not state why the QN codes were lower. Treat them as gone. A tender ceiling built on them is now too low for the nearest current line.
Should the tender ceiling (限价) change?
Quick Answer: Recheck it row by row, not as a percentage. Rows with HSSD-O drives may now sit above the USD LIST, by 17.8–31.5%. Rows with Pacific QN chassis codes may sit 28–34% below the nearest current line. Array drive rows did not move. Domestic RMB channel prices and the 13% VAT amount are pending confirmation.
| Row type | Effect of the 9 Oct list | Action on the bid |
|---|---|---|
| HSSD-O OceanDisk drive | LIST down 17.8–31.5% | Re-price; write LIST date in header |
| HSSD-E eKitStor drive | Flat | Separate deviation row |
| Dorado array drive | Flat | No change |
| Pacific QN chassis | Code removed; nearest +28–34% | Re-quote; ceiling may be too low |
| 64GB DDR4 | One code −57%, two at 15,306 | Part number on the bid |
The cost of skipping this is concrete: a bid evaluated against a ceiling that still carries September LIST on HSSD-O rows looks overpriced, and a Pacific row on a QN code fails at order entry.
How do you re-price the bid, step by step?
Quick Answer: Sort SSD rows by model prefix. Re-price HSSD-O rows on the 9 October LIST. Keep HSSD-E and array rows flat. Check memory and Pacific codes. Recheck the 限价 row by row. Send one sheet; TAOHAN returns the re-priced 偏离表 with 13% VAT lines in 1 business day.
- Step 1 — Sort by model prefix — HSSD-O (OceanDisk), HSSD-E (eKitStor), array drives (D3V6, D5V6, D8V6, D18V6, D*V7) and other.
- Step 2 — Re-price HSSD-O lines — Use the 9 October 2026 LIST. 63 lines cut, 1 renumbered (02357FHC → 02356GJB).
- Step 3 — Keep flat lines flat — HSSD-E and array drive lines did not move. Reject a blanket “SSD −25%”.
- Step 4 — Check memory and Pacific codes — 64GB DDR4 by part number; swap removed Pacific codes; flag 02357QN codes (nearest line +28–34%).
- Step 5 — Recheck the 限价 — Lines with HSSD-O may sit above the new LIST; Pacific QN lines may sit below. Write the LIST date in the header.
- Step 6 — Send one sheet — TAOHAN re-prices every line and returns the 偏离表 with 13% VAT lines in 1 business day. RMB pending confirmation.
Small first step: send only the part-number column. That is enough to mark which rows moved.
Common pitfalls on Huawei storage bids after 9 October
Quick Answer: The costly misses are cutting every SSD row by 25%, keeping September LIST on HSSD-O rows, treating the eKitStor twin as equal on price, bidding “64GB DDR4” without a code, keeping a removed Pacific QN code, and reading a USD LIST cut as an RMB price cut.
- “SSD −25%” on every row: only HSSD-O moved; 532 SSD lines are flat.
- September LIST on HSSD-O rows: the October LIST is 17.8–31.5% lower.
- eKitStor as equal price: now 28–45% higher LIST.
- Memory by spec: 6,582 versus 15,306 for one description.
- Pacific QN code: removed; nearest line +28–34%.
- USD LIST read as RMB price: domestic channel price pending confirmation.

On the USD LIST, yes. Against the 1 September list, the revision dated 9 October 2026 lowers 63 OceanDisk drives — every model starting HSSD-O — by 17.8% to 31.5%. No retained line went up. Whether domestic RMB channel prices follow is pending confirmation.
Only on HSSD-O lines. Drives built for Dorado arrays did not move: D5V6-SSD-NVMe-3.84T stays at USD 34,700 and D8V6-SSD-NVMe-3.84T at 46,600. Of 609 SSD lines on the October list, 532 are unchanged.
Only for lines you can name by part number. A ceiling built from a September quote with OceanDisk lines may now sit above the USD LIST. A ceiling with Pacific QN chassis codes may sit below the nearest current line. Recheck line by line; RMB pricing is pending confirmation.
Write it as its own row. Its 34 HSSD-E lines were not cut, so the same series and capacity now lists 28–45% higher than OceanDisk. Fit for your server and stock are pending confirmation.
Three codes share one description. 02510883 fell from USD 15,306 to 6,582 (−57%); 02314QDS stays at 15,306; 02510279 is new at 15,306. Put the part number on the bid, never only the specification.
