Purpose-built surveillance storage
The Western Digital WD1600AVCS is a 160GB 3.5-inch SATA internal hard drive from the AV series, engineered for continuous audio and video recording. It uses IntelliPower spindle speed and a 16MB cache to deliver steady streaming performance in always-on environments such as DVR and NVR systems.
Ideal for entry-level video systems
This drive suits installers building low-profile surveillance setups that require 24x7 reliability at modest capacities. SilkStream technology supports up to 16 simultaneous HD streams for smooth playback. Buyers needing capacities above 500GB or faster random-access performance for general computing should look elsewhere.
Deciding specification: SATA 3.0Gb/s interface
The drive connects via a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface, which determines host compatibility and maximum throughput. Verify that your recorder or controller supports this interface before purchase.

Questions about this item
What practical limit does the SATA 3.0Gb/s interface impose on this WD1600AVCS drive?
The SATA 3.0Gb/s interface caps the maximum burst transfer rate at the link speed; sustained throughput depends on the IntelliPower spindle speed and 16MB cache.
What physical clearance does the 3.5-inch WD1600AVCS need to fit in a bay?
The drive measures 147mm long, 101.6mm wide and 26.1mm high, so the bay must accommodate those maximum dimensions.
Which installation step is often missed when fitting this bare drive into a surveillance system?
Mount the drive with the supplied screws using the bottom or side threaded holes, then connect both the SATA data and power cables before powering on.
