Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of the prospectus or this prospectus supplement no. 5. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date of this prospectus supplement no. 5 is November 6, 2007.


The section entitled “Selling Securityholders” in the prospectus is superseded in its entirety with the following:

SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

The 4.125% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2026, were originally issued by Digital Realty Trust, L.P., our operating partnership, and sold by the initial purchasers of the debentures in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act to persons reasonably believed by the initial purchasers to be qualified institutional buyers as defined by Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Under certain circumstances, we may issue shares of our common stock upon the exchange of the debentures. In such circumstances, the recipients of shares of our common stock, whom we refer to as the selling securityholders, may use this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement to resell from time to time the shares of our common stock that we may issue to them upon the exchange of the debentures. Information about selling securityholders is set forth in this prospectus, and information about additional selling securityholders may be set forth in a prospectus supplement, in a post-effective amendment, or in filings we make with the SEC under the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

The following table sets forth information, as of November 6, 2007, with respect to the selling securityholders and the maximum number of shares of our common stock that could become beneficially owned by each selling securityholder should we issue shares of our common stock to such selling securityholder that may be offered pursuant to this prospectus upon the exchange of the debentures. The information is based on information provided by or on behalf of the selling securityholders. The selling securityholders may offer all, some or none of the shares of our common stock which we may issue upon the exchange of the debentures. The number of shares of our common stock issuable upon the exchange of the debentures shown in the table below assumes exchange of the full amount of debentures held by each selling securityholder at the maximum exchange rate of 36.2056 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of debentures and a cash payment in lieu of any fractional share (the initial exchange rate of the debentures is 30.6828 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of debentures). The exchange rate on the debentures is subject to adjustment in certain events. Accordingly, the maximum number of shares of our common stock issuable upon the exchange of the debentures may increase or decrease from time to time. In addition, due to the exchange settlement provisions of the debentures, we may not be required to issue the maximum number of shares of our common stock upon any exchanges of debentures. The percent of shares of common stock beneficially owned following the exchange is based on 64,758,872 shares of common stock outstanding as of November 1, 2007.
