Western Digital AV GreenPower 250GB internal hard drive Serial ATA

Power-conserving WD AV-GP SATA hard drives take advantage of WD's GreenPower™ technology to meet the extreme requirements of demanding audio and video environments.

They provide cool and quiet operation and reliability while reducing power consumption by up to 40%, making them ideal for audio video applications such as PVRs, DVRs, and 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 and video environments such as PVR/DVR, DVR recorders, and surveillance video recorders.

Quiet

Noise levels have been minimized to less than one sone*—virtually below the threshold of human hearing.

Reduced power consumption

With the help of its IntelliSeek, IntelliPark, and IntelliPower technologies, WD's drives use up to 40 percent less power than those of its competitors.

Compatible

Tested for compatibility with a broad range of AV products, including set-top boxes, DVD recorders, and mainstream surveillance systems.

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.

IntelliPark™

It 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 and video streaming applications.
