Yes and No!  By itself it can't, but with the support of the AmaxII+ it will.

>Can I hook up a HD drive to my A500?
I am not sure about CBM's support for this new drive.  I do know that it is
presently available in the 3000T and soon will be standard in all future 
3000's.  I was also told that the support is already included with current
3000's sold.

>What will be the price of the drive?
I don't know what CMB's price is going to be, but I have priced the OEM drive
to less than $60 !!

It will of course look for the hole in the disk. 

Lets think about this for a minute.....with this HD floppy drive and AmaxII+
you'll be able to:

  Read & Write  Amiga, MS-dos, & Mac  Double & High density disks!!!
