Identify WD Marvel Families by Code After The Dash

Very Interesting ,
Jared , i see that in few families C5 says something and the hdd is is in different family ,So are you using PC3k as reference .Because when we have new family we might take family code from C5 Modules and in next update PC3K might say its different ?

Yes, I'm going off how PC-3000 categorizes the families. A few families though, such as Venus and Viking actually have a different name in C5 than what all the tools seem to refer to them as. I don't know why.

OK, here's a mystery for you all. I've got a drive here: WD5000AAVS-00ZTB0

PC-3000 Detects it as Spider Family
Module C5 says Hulk
And I see some drives with this after the dash code saved as Dragonfly 4 (I'm quite certain it's not).

So what's the consensus?
