THE IRONWOLF 12TB

The IronWolf 12TB arrived inside a sealed static free bag (bulk).

Nothing new in terms of appearance since the new IronWolf 12TB model is identical to the 10TB model.

This time over however the sticker at the top of the drive contains the usual information such as the drives serial number, factory roll-out date, interface, capacity, electrical requirements and installed firmware.

As usual at the rear we see a small PCB with all the modules placed on the other side for increased protection (we also see the same empty spot on the upper right corner which may one day be used for extra cache (or an SSHD model).

Four pins (probably used for firmware updates) and the usual SATA power and data connectors are located at the rear of the drive.
