“Is this model # WDBRPG5000ANC or WDS500G3X0C? Asking this because 1) As per WD official specifications, https://support-en.wd.com/app/products/product-detail/p/1534 only WDS500G3X0C is a valid model number & 2) Review images of BIOS show WDS500G3X0C”

• Everything about those two model numbers seem to be the exact same. Just one only shows on 3rd party retailers while the 3X0C only on WD. From the box and firmware identification, mine was listed as the 3X0C number.

• It's probably a best buy "exclusive". Stores will ask manufacturers to make up BS model numbers so that they can reject price match guarantee requests even though the product is identical. They do this with graphics cards, and probably many other products. I'm sorry sir, we won't match that price because the model numbers aren't identical.

• Per the box it's WDBRPG5000ANC. Probably a Best Buy exclusive since I have the WDS500G3XOC also and the box and the drive look the same.
