About WD AV-GP 2TB

The WD WD20EURS 3.5" Internal Hard Drive stores more hi-def audio and video than ever before. This hard drive is 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 drive is ideal for DVR/PVR and video surveillance applications.

WD AV-GP 2TB Features

  • Highest capacity for audio/video storage: The WD AV-GP SATA drive offers unrivaled 2TB storage capacity - perfect for today's storage intensive applications
  • 24x7 reliability: This drive is designed to last in high temperature always-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
  • Reduced power consumption: WD AV-GP drive consumes 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
  • 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: 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
  • 1 million hours MTBF: Best-in-class reliability for mainstream 3.5-inch form-factor AV storage
  • Advanced Format (AF): Technology being adopted by WD and other drive as one of multiple ways to continue growing hard drive capacities. AF is more efficient media format that enables increased areal densities
