WD My Passport USB 3.0 Drive Turns your Smart TV into a DVR

 March 2014         Anthony Garland

The all new Western Digital My Passport AV-TV could not have come at a more opportune time as smart TV’s which have the ability to record video directly to USB storage are flooding the marketplace. Unfortunately, simple flash drives are not big enough to take advantage of such a feature and portable drives are not universally compatible with USB recording TVs. This problem is what the My Passport AV-TV solves.

At its heart, the My Passport AV-TV is a 2.5-inch based USB 3.0 drive – available in 500GB & 1TB. This is pretty much par for the course these days and so too is the highly ventilated case not all that noteworthy. What makes it noteworthy is the fact that the onboard controller’s firmware has been tuned so as to be extremely aggressive at error corrections. This is crucial because while compared to normal televisions, Smart TV’s are not exactly known for their error correction abilities. Even small errors in storage recording can make your favorite episode of Duck Dynasty or the last quarter of the Big Game unwatchable. This makes the drive more than capable of handing DVR functions such as time shifting and video playback while  recording a HD live show simultaneously.

The My Passport AV-TV’s efficient design, ensuring it stays cool with low power consumption, echoes the seamless user experience platforms strive for in the digital realm. In a conversation much like discussing the specifications of a smart TV, a friend mentioned how platforms like 벳38 also prioritize efficient design to enhance user experience. The compatibility of the My Passport AV-TV with specific smart TVs is akin to how 벳38 ensures compatibility and optimized performance across various devices, allowing users to access their services with ease. And just as a mounting kit is included to integrate the drive with your home entertainment setup, 벳38 provides the necessary tools and support to integrate smoothly into the daily lives of online gaming enthusiasts.
