Product Features

Highest capacity for audio/video
storage

WD AV-GP SATA drives now offer
unrivaled storage capacity up to
3 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,
IPTV, and video surveillance systems.

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. For
more information on large capacity
drive compatibility, go to
http://avlargecapacitydrives.com.

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.

Quiet

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

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.

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
signicant power savings and solid
performance.

NoTouch™ ramp load technology

The recording head never touches
the disk media ensuring signicantly
less wear to the recording head
and media as well as better drive
protection in transit.

CAPACITIES

160 GB to 3 TB

Note: Not all products may
be available in all regions of
the world.

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.

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
efcient media format that enables
increased areal densities.
(EURS/EURX/AUDX models only)

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 30°C air ambient
environment.

Applications

Surveillance, 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 specication published by the SATA-IO organization as of the date of this specication
sheet. Visit www.sata-io.org for details.
