THE NAS HDD 8TB

As always our sample arrived alone inside a clear plastic package so nothing really new to see here.

Once again a very large sticker placed at the top of the drive contains useful bits of information such as barcodes, serial number, model number, part number, factory rollout date (November 9th 2015), electrical requirements and of course the firmware number.

At the rear we see the usual SATA power and data connectors right next to 4 pins (probably used for firmware updating).

All of the components are placed on the interior of the PCB and as you can see the enclosure/housing is the same we've seen quite a few times in the past with Seagate drives.

Since Seagate managed to send over two NAS HDD 8TB drives we will also be running RAID0 tests using our LSI/AVAGO MegaRAID 9271-8i card.
