Product Features

High-capacity DVR storage

The perfect drive for expanding your
DVR storage. Connect the drive to
your compatible USB or eSATA DVR to
instantly create more storage for your
TV shows, sporting events, and movies.

companion for your camcorder

Transfer your videos from your compatible
camcorder to your My Book AV drive
without a computer to make room for
more recording. You can even use the
camcorder to play back the videos stored
on the My Book AV drive.

AV-optimized

My Book AV DVR expander offers
smooth video recording and
playback with Silkstream™ technology
(available via eSATA). Built with
WD GreenPower Technology™,
the drive inside is optimized for the
demands of reading and writing video
as well as the high temperatures often
found in entertainment centers.

Store videos, music, and photos
for playback on your TV

Connect this AV-optimized drive to a
game console, Blu-ray Disc player or
media player, like our WD TV® family of
products, to enjoy smooth playback on
your big screen TV.

Small enough to t in your
entertainment center

The small My Book form factor ts
neatly in your entertainment center.
It can stand upright or lay horizontally,
making it easy to neatly position your
My Book AV drive near your AV devices
while maximizing airow and minimizing
heat around the drive.

Maximum exibility

My Book AV has both USB 2.0 and
eSATA interfaces so your drive is
compatible with most DVRs and other
AV devices.

When used with a DVR, the My Book AV drive
expands the recording capacity of a single DVR. The
drive cannot be used as an expander for multiple
DVRs or as storage for other AV devices.

Check with your cable service provider to conrm compatibility with their system.
