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.
Reduced power
consumption
With the combination of WD's
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.
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.
IntelliSeek ™
Calculates optimum seek speeds to
lower power consumption, noise,
and vibration.
IntelliPower ™
A fine-tuned balance of spin speed,
transfer rate, and caching
algorithms designed to deliver both
significant power savings and solid
performance.
ROTATIONAL SPEED
IntelliPower
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.
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.
CAPACITIES
160 GB to 2 TB
Note: Not all products may
be available in all regions of
the world.
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.
