WD AV-GP
Power-saving Hard Drives
WD AV-GP SATA hard drives store more hi-def audio and
video than ever before – up to 3 TB. They are optimized with
™
SilkStream technology to capture data from up to
12 simultaneous HD video streams. And with 24x7 operation,
low temperature, and best-in-class reliability,
WD AV-GP hard drives are ideal for DVR/PVR and video
surveillance applications. 3-year limited warranty.

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.
Reduced power consumption
IntelliSeek™
Calculates optimum seek speeds to
lower power consumption, noise, and
vibration.
Preemptive Wear Leveling (PWL)
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.
The drive arm frequently sweeps
across the disk to reduce uneven
wear on the drive surface common to
audio video streaming applications.
IntelliPower™
Advanced Format (AF)
A fine-tuned balance of spin
speed, transfer rate, and caching
algorithms designed to deliver both
significant power savings and solid
performance.
Quiet
24x7 reliability
These drives are designed to
last in high temperature always-
on streaming digital audio/video
environments such as PVR/DVR,
IPTV, and video surveillance systems.
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.
Noise levels have been minimized to
less than one sone* - virtually below
the threshold of human hearing.
SilkStream
NoTouch™ ramp load technology
(EURS/EURX/EUCX/AURS/AUDX
models only)
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.
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.
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
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.

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 specification published by the SATA-IO organization as of the date of this specification
