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

on 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

WIDTH/HEIGHT
3.5-inch/1-inch
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 fine-tuned balance of spin
speed, transfer rate, and caching
algorithms designed to deliver both
significant power savings and solid
performance.
NoTouch ™ ramp load technology
The recording head never touches
the disk media ensuring significantly
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
efficient media format that enables
increased areal densities.
