Introduction
Advances in hard drive technology continue to change the way
DVR and set-top-box manufacturers design and build home
entertainment solutions. Now, the development of drives featuring
remarkably low power consumption and heat generation make it
feasible to produce DVRs without cooling fans. This constitutes
a revolution in home electronics design and exposes exciting
opportunities for DVR and set-top-box makers, and consumers.
As the world’s largest hard drive manufacturer, Seagate Technology
LLC provides industry-leading storage devices—alongside a
comprehensive portfolio of services—to help original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs) drive innovation and business growth.
Based on the dramatic power efficiency and heat dissipation
improvements achieved in the Seagate® Pipeline HD™ drive,
production of fanless DVRs is now a viable option for OEMs
looking to gain a competitive edge.
By embracing this new technology, OEMs can quickly ramp their
capacity for building fanless DVRs to gain prime-mover advantage
in a market with increasing growth potential. Further, OEMs can use
fanless DVR to reduce their build costs through lower component
counts and greater overall process efficiency.

Technology Paper
Fanless DVRs can
help OEMs simplify
manufacturing processes,
meet the needs of a
growing market and
increase their bottom line.
By producing fanless
DVRs, OEMs can:
• Reduce development and build
costs with fewer components to
source and manage
• Increase the reliability of their
inventory by eliminating a
component
• Minimize DVR power
consumption to capitalize on
potential “green” benefits
• Improve the customer
experience by enhancing
acoustics
• Increase production capacity for
a highly marketable product with
strong demand potential
