Product overview
WDS500G2B0A is a Western Digital 500GB blue 2.5 inch 3D-NAND 6Gb/s SATA SSD. Form factor and connector decide whether a drive physically lands in the bay; this is a 2.5 inch unit, and an adapter that fits mechanically can still cost you hot-swap. Give us the chassis and we will check the carrier as well as the drive.
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
WDS500G2B0A is what is quoted and WDS500G2B0A is what ships; where an alternate code is genuinely the same part we name it rather than swap it silently.
Carrier and firmware confirmed
The drive, the caddy it needs and the firmware family the controller expects are all checked as one order.
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 WDS500G2B0A 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 WDS500G2B0A work in my server?
- Send the server or array model and the controller behind it. We check the carrier, the firmware family and whether the drive is on the platform's supported list — mechanical fit is the easy part.
- 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.
