The WD 3.5" internal hard drive is a good way to boost storage performance for your desktop computers. Up to 12 simultaneous HD streams can be played back smoothly. No matter what you do, it operates intelligently with minimum power consumption and wear. Enjoy increased areal densities with AF. Being halogen-free, it helps reduce negative impacts on the planet.
Optimized for smooth, continuous digital video playback of up to 12 simultaneous HD streams. SilkStream is compatible with the ATA streaming command set so CE customers can use standard streaming management and error-recovery options.
A fine-tuned balance of spin-speed, transfer rate, and caching algorithms designed to deliver both significant power savings and solid performance. Additionally, WD GreenPower drives consume less current during startup allowing more drives to spin-up simultaneously, resulting in faster system readiness.
Calculates optimum seek speeds to lower unnecessary power consumption, noise and vibration.
The recording head never touches the disk media, thus ensuring significantly less wear to the recording head and media as well as better drive protection in transit.
These drives consume less current during startup allowing for lower peak loads.
Electronic components deliver best-in-class low-power consumption for reduced power requirements and increased reliability.
Proactively monitors and prevents magnetic wear during high read/write duty-cycle applications.
Technology that's been adopted by WD and other major drive manufacturers as one of the best ways to continue growing hard drive capacities. AF is a more efficient media format that enables increased areal densities.
In addition to being RoHS compliant, this generation of WD AV-GP is also a halogen-free design.
