About the WD Green 500GB 2.5 Inch SATA SSD
The WD Green 500GB 2.5 Inch SATA SSD operates as a mixed-workload primary storage tier, delivering sequential read speeds up to 545 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 430 MB/s for balanced performance across read-intensive and write-intensive operations. Manufactured by Western Digital under the WD Green brand (part number WDS500G5G0A), this 500 GB solid-state drive combines capacity with durability, making it an ideal choice for storage architects and IT procurement teams seeking reliable, power-efficient storage solutions for enterprise deployments.
Built on 3D NAND technology and housed in a compact 2.5-inch form factor with just 7 mm Z-height, the drive integrates seamlessly into space-constrained server environments and data center racks. The WD Green operates across a wide temperature range (0°C to 70°C operating, −40°C to 85°C storage) and delivers exceptional shock resistance at 1500 G / 0.5 ms, along with vibration tolerance of 5 gRMS (10–2000 Hz), ensuring reliability under demanding conditions. With an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours and endurance rating of 40 TBW, Western Digital's engineering demonstrates long-term dependability. The SATA III 6 Gb/s interface ensures backward compatibility with SATA II infrastructure, while active power consumption of just 1.7 W and standby consumption of 0.35 W reduce operational costs. Weighing only 39 g and measuring 100.0 mm × 69.85 mm × 7.0 mm, this drive minimizes physical footprint without compromising performance.
Typical Enterprise Workloads
- General-purpose server storage and boot-drive acceleration in virtualized environments
- Mixed read-write workload caching for departmental file servers and NAS appliances
- Cost-effective capacity expansion in budget-constrained data center refresh cycles
- Mobile workstation and branch-office storage for organizations requiring compact, durable form factors
- Archive and secondary storage tier supporting infrequent access patterns with low power overhead
