Western Digital Av

24x7 reliability.\nThese drives are designed to last in always-on, streaming digital audio/video environments such as PVRs, DVRs and surveillance video recorders.\n\nReduced power consumption.\nWith the combination of WD's IntelliSeek, IntelliPark, and IntelliPower technologies, WD has reduced power consumption by up to 40 percent compared to competitors' drives.\n\nWhisper quiet.\nNoise levels have been minimized to less than one sone – virtually below the threshold of human hearing.\n\nCompatible.\nTested for compatibility in a broad range of AV products including set top boxes, DVD recorders, and mainstream surveillance systems.\n\nSilkStream.\nOptimized 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.\n\nIntelliSeek.\nCalculates optimum seek speeds to lower power consumption, noise and vibration.\n\nIntelliPark.\nDelivers lower power consumption by automatically unloading the heads during idle to reduce aerodynamic drag.\n\nPreemptive Wear Leveling (PWL).\nThe drive arm frequently sweeps across the disk to reduce uneven wear on the drive surface common to audio video streaming applications.\n\nAdvanced Format Technology (AF).\nTechnology 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.\n\nLong-Term Reliability.\nThese drives are designed to last in high temperature always-on streaming digital audio/video environments such as PVR/DVR, DVR recorders and surveillance video recorders.\n\nIdeal for:\nPVRs, DVRs, set-top boxes (STBs), and surveillance video recording.
