THE IRONWOLF PRO 10TB

As always our sample arrived inside a plastic clamshell package and a static-free bag (bulk).

The enclosure of the IronWolf Pro drive is pretty much identical with those used in the IronWolf, Barracuda Pro and Enterprise Capacity 3.5 V6 drives.

The top sticker includes information about the drive such as its serial and part numbers, barcodes, firmware version installed, PSID key and factory rollout date.

The alloy used in the enclosures of all of Seagate’s latest HDD lines is nothing like we had seen in the past.

Once again all the modules are placed on the interior of the PCB for increased protection (we also see the same empty area on the right top corner which may or may not be used with an SSD/cache module in future models).

The typical SATA power and data connectors are placed at the rear of the drive right next to 4 pins.
