Reviews
The Western Digital WD AV hard drive features 24x7 reliability, ultra-cool operation and low power consumption ideal for media center, media server, surveillance, digital signage and other AV systems where long term trouble-free operation has top priority. The AV drives are optimized with SilkStream technology to capture data from up to 12 simultaneous HD video streams.
Reduced power consumption
WD AV-GP drives consume less power by up to 40 percent compared to 7200 RPM hard drives. Lower power means less heat and greater reliability.
IntelliSeek
Calculates optimum seek speeds to lower power consumption, noise, and vibration.
Preemptive Wear Leveling (PWL)
The drive arm frequently sweeps across the disk to reduce uneven wear on the drive surface common to audio video streaming applications.
24x7 reliability
These drives are designed to last in high temperature alwayson streaming digital audio/video environments such as PVR/DVR, IPTV, and video surveillance systems.
Quiet
Noise levels have been minimized to less than one sone* - virtually below the threshold of human hearing. (A sone is a subjective unit of loudness as perceived by a person
IntelliPower
A fine-tuned balance of spin speed, transfer rate, and caching algorithms designed to deliver both significant power savings and solid performance.
Advanced Format (AF)
Technology being adopted by WD and other drive manufacturers as one of multiple ways to continue growing hard drive capacities. AF is a more efficient media format that enables increased areal densities. (EURS/EURX/AUDX models only)
Compatible
Tested for compatibility in a broad range of AV products including set top boxes, DVR/PVR, and mainstream video surveillance systems. For drives with greater than 2.19 TB capacity, compatibility is selective to PVRs and surveillance systems that are compatible with hard drives exceeding 2.19 TB.
SilkStream
Optimized for smooth, continuous digital video playback of up to twelve simultaneous HD streams. SilkStream is compatible with the ATA streaming command set so CE customers can use standard streaming management and error recovery options.
NoTouch ramp load technology
The recording head never touches the disk media ensuring significantly less wear to the recording head and media as well as better drive protection in transit.
