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 3.5" form-factor except when tagged otherwise.
Though WD was never to be a serious contender in the enterprise above-7200RPM market, their various Raptors did the unique and offered a magical five-figure number through a SATA cable: effectively enterprise performance (or what could be mustered of it within the limitations) made more accessible to Joe Sixpack's gaming rig, and a thick layer of public prestige bestowed onto the letters "W" and "D" in sequence (or so their PR department would hope). Later versions aped the evolution of enterprise drives, shrinking to 2.5" (the VelociRaptors), and fielded with SAS connectors (the S25 and XE), with the latter pursuing even a sliver of a thumbnail in the real server iron pie, but any plans for 15K (undoubtedly the subject of wishful thinking in many comments sections) were surely scuttled by the rapid rise of SSDs.

37-40GB/platter Section (all drives under here use platters that can hold 37 or 40GB of data apiece.)

Raptor (1st-Gen) (10,000RPM, 8MB cache, SATA-150 interface)

WD360GD-xxFNAx/xxGHAx 37GB (1/2)
Note: Noticeably noisy at idle due to a ball-bearing spindle. All forthcoming Raptors would replace these with FDBs.


Raptor (2nd-Gen) (10,000RPM, 8MB cache, SATA-150 interface)

WD360GD-xxFLAx/xxFLCx 37GB (1/2)
WD740GD-xxFLAx/xxFLCx 74GB (2/4)
WD800GD-xxFLCx 80GB (2/4)
Note: These and the first-generation Raptor use an internal PATA-to-SATA bridge chip, with the second-gen adding TCQ support. Native SATA and the more-common NCQ arrived with the third generation.
Note 2: The 80GB version was only available through Dell, and was not available on the open market.



75-80GB/platter Section (all drives under here use platters that can hold 75 or 80GB of data apiece.)

Raptor (3rd-Gen) (10,000RPM, 16MB cache, SATA-150 interface)

WD360ADFD-xxNLRx 36GB (1/1)
WD740ADFD-xxNLRx 74GB (1/2)
WD800ADFD-xxNLRx 80GB (1/2)
WD1500ADFD-xxNLRx 150GB (2/4)
WD1600ADFD-xxNLRx 160GB (2/4)
Note: The 80 and 160GB versions were only available through Dell and HP, and were not available on the open market.


Raptor (3rd-Gen) (10,000RPM, 16MB cache, SATA-300 interface)

WD740ADFS-xxSLRx 74GB (1/2)
WD800ADFS-xxSLRx 80GB (1/2)
WD1500ADFS-xxSLRx 150GB (2/4)
WD1600ADFS-xxSLRx 160GB (2/4)
Note: The 80 and 160GB versions were only available through Dell and HP, and were not available on the open market.


Raptor X (10,000RPM, 16MB cache, SATA-150 interface)

WD1500AHFD-xxRARx 150GB (2/4)
Note: This is a special version of the WD1500ADFD with a clear plastic window built into the lid. Perhaps needless to say, it was a staple in various looks-heavy "gaming" PC builds throughout 2006~2008.



150GB/platter Section (all drives under here use platters that can hold 150GB of data apiece.)

VelociRaptor (10,000RPM, 16MB cache, SATA-300 interface, 2.5" form-factor)

WD3000BLFS-xxYBUx 300GB (2/4)
Note: "GLFS" and "HLFS" suffix denote models that shipped with the "IcePak" 3.5" adapter; "GLFS" is carried only by early batches that aren't compatible with hot-swap backplanes. "BLFS" suffix denotes models sold as bare 2.5" drives.
Note 2: The 80 and 160GB versions were only available through Dell and HP, and were not available on the open market.

WD6000BLHX-xxV7BVx 600GB (3/6)
Note: "HLHX" suffix denotes models that shipped with the "IcePak" 3.5" adapter. "BLHX" suffix denotes models sold as bare 2.5" drives.
Note 2: The 160GB versions were only available through Dell and HP, and were not available on the open market. They can sometimes be found locked to SATA-300.
