Here are all of the models currently in the database for this manufacturer and drive width. Models are sorted into sections by platter density.

Some tips:

All displayed data capacities follow the storage industry's standardized "1 megabyte = 1,000,000 bytes" rule.
All capacity values are rounded: "40GB" and "1.33TB" may actually be 42,646.25[...]MB and 1333.5666[...]GB. Only the manufacturer knows the exact capacity per platter.
The total capacity of each individual model is shown beside each model number.
A platter-head ratio is shown next to the total capacity tag in brackets. It works very simply: a (3/6) ratio indicates three disks and six read/write heads. Models that "waste" a substantial amount of their actual total capacity in order to fit into certain capacity brackets (such as a 320GB unit based on one 500GB platter and two heads) are marked accordingly as [short-stroked].
Miscellaneous details of possible interest are mentioned at my discretion.
Assume that all models are 9.5mm-thick except when tagged otherwise.
WD's AV-25 (later just AV, and eventually the unmarketed "Connected Home") is meant for DVRs, game consoles, and other such non-PC applications. The Reds use "NAS-worthy" firmware and are similar in targeted purpose as their 3.5" counterparts. The Green mark was applied for a period before 2015 to laptop-unfriendly Blues thicker than 9.5mm; these pursue non-specialized highest possible capacity in the 2.5" size. (Other Blues are listed in their own section.) This list also covers various 2.5" "Not For Resale" WD drives with and without soldered USB interfaces, which lurk inside some of the firm's external HDD products.
