WD AV-GP

Power-saving Hard Drives

Power-conserving WD AV-GP SATA hard drives take advantage of WD GreenPower Technology to meet the 24x7 requirements of demanding audio and video environments. With power reduction of up to 40 percent, they deliver cool and quiet operation and reliability perfect for audio video applications such as PVRs, DVRs, set-top boxes (STBs) as well as surveillance video recording.

Product Features
24x7 reliability
These drives are designed to last in always-on, streaming digital audio/ video environments such as PVR/DVR, DVR recorders, and surveillance video recorders.

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.

IntelliPark
Parks the recording heads off the disk surface during spin up, spin down, and when the drive is off. This ensures the recording head never touches the disk surface resulting in improved long term reliability due to less head wear, and improved non-operational shock tolerance.

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/AURS models only)

Reduced power consumption

With the combination of WDs IntelliSeek, IntelliPark, and IntelliPower technologies, WD has reduced power consumption by up to 40 percent compared to competitors drives. Lower power means less heat and better reliability.

1 million hours MTBF

Best-in-class reliability for mainstream 3.5-inch form-factor AV storage.**
* A sone is a subjective unit of loudness as perceived by a person with normal hearing. ** Based upon dual tuner system operating in typical 30C air ambient environment.

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.

IntelliPower
A fine-tuned balance of spin speed, transfer rate, and caching algorithms designed to deliver both significant power savings and solid performance.

Quiet
Noise levels have been minimized to less than one sone* virtually below the threshold of human hearing.
