THE P300 6TB

It's been a while since I’ve received a bulk version of a Toshiba drive but the P300 6TB is exactly that so it arrived inside a static-free bag.

In terms of design the body of the P300 is similar to what we've seen by Toshiba to date from both their X300 and N300 models.

As always, the large sticker on top of the drive lists the drive's capacity, rotational speed, buffer, installed firmware, electrical requirements, revision number, factory rollout date, country of manufacture, serial number, part number, barcodes and several certifications.

Typically, all of the modules are placed on the other side of the PCB for increased protection.

At the rear end of the drive we find the standard SATA power and data connectors right next to 2 pins (probably used for service purposes).

Toshiba also has a diagnostic tool available with which you can check the status of the P300 drive.
