Product overview
The Western Digital blue PC desktop hard Drive 500GB 7200RPM SATA 32MB cache 3.5-Inch is supplied under part number WD5000AZLX. 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.
If you are buying a spare rather than a replacement, say so, and we will match the firmware family to what is already in the shelf.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
WD5000AZLX is what is quoted and WD5000AZLX is what ships; where an alternate code is genuinely the same part we name it rather than swap it silently.
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.
No substitutions without asking
If we cannot supply the exact code we tell you what we can supply and why, rather than shipping an equivalent and letting you find out.
Questions buyers ask about this part
Is WD5000AZLX 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 WD5000AZLX 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.
