Western Digital WD5000AVCS Operation manual

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.
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.
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
http://avlargecapacitydrives.com.
Reduced power consumption
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.
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 ne-tuned balance of spin
speed, transfer rate, and caching
algorithms designed to deliver both
signicant power savings and solid
performance.
NoTouch™ramp load technology
The recording head never touches
the disk media ensuring signicantly
less wear to the recording head
and media as well as better drive
protection in transit.
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.
Advanced Format (AF)
Technology being adopted by WD
and other drive manufacturers as one
of multiple ways to continue growing
hard drive capacities. AF is a more
efcient media format that enables
increased areal densities.
(EURS/EURX/EUCX/AURS/AUDX
models only)
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.
