WD AV-GP
Power-saving Hard Drives
Green Power for AV: Cool. Quiet. Reliable.
Power-conserving WD AV-GP SATA hard drives take advantage of WD GreenPower Technology to meet the extreme requirements of demanding audio and video environments. With power reduction of up to 40 percent, they deliver cool and quiet operation and reliability perfect for audio video applications such as PVRs, DVRs, set-top boxes (STBs) as well as surveillance video recording.
- Long-term reliability - These drives are designed to last in high temperature, always-on, streaming digital audio/video environments.
- Reduced power consumption - With the combination of WDs IntelliSeek, IntelliPark, and IntelliPower technologies, WD has reduced power consumption by up to 40 percent compared to competitors drives.
- Quiet - Noise levels have been optimized to less than one sone virtually below the threshold of human hearing.
TECHNOLOGY FEATURES
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.
IntelliPark Delivers lower power consumption by automatically unloading the heads during idle to reduce aerodynamic drag.
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.
Average Seek Time: 4.2
Electrical Interface: SATA 300 - 3.0Gbps
