Product Features
Highest capacity for audio/video
storage
WD AV SATA drives now offer
unrivaled storage capacity up to
4 TB – perfect for today’s storage
intensive applications.
24x7 reliability
These drives are designed to
last in high temperature alwayson streaming digital audio/video
environments such as PVR/DVR and
IPTV systems.
Low Capacity Surveillance
WD AV drives offer 500 GB and lower
capacities suitable for low prole
entry level surveillance systems
requiring reliability in always on
environments.
Reduced power consumption
WD AV drives consume less power
by up to 40 percent compared to
7200 RPM hard drives. Lower power
means less heat and greater reliability.
SilkStream
Optimized for smooth, continuous
digital video playback of up to 16
simultaneous HD streams. SilkStream
is compatible with the ATA streaming
command set so CE customers can
use standard streaming management
and error recovery options.
ROTATIONAL SPEED
IntelliPower
IntelliSeek
Calculates optimum seek speeds to
lower power consumption, noise, and
vibration.
IntelliPower
A ne-tuned balance of spin
speed, transfer rate, and caching
algorithms designed to deliver both
signicant power savings and solid
performance.

Advanced Format (AF)
Technology adopted by WD and
other drive manufacturers as one of
multiple ways to continue growing
hard drive capacities. AF is a more
efcient media format that enables
increased areal densities.
(EURS/EURX/AUDX models only)
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
with normal hearing.
Applications
Set-top boxes (PVR, DVR, NVR and IPTV), media servers and media centers.

As used for storage capacity, one megabyte (MB) = one million bytes, one gigabyte (GB) = one billion bytes, and one terabyte (TB) = one trillion bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending on operating environment. As used for buffer or cache, one megabyte (MB) = 1,048,576 bytes. As used for transfer
rate or interface, megabyte per second (MB/s) = one million bytes per second, and gigabit per second (Gb/s) = one billion bits per second. Effective maximum SATA 6 Gb/s transfer rate calculated according to the Serial ATA specication published by the SATA-IO organization as of the date of this specication
sheet. Visit www.sata-io.org for details.
