THE IRONWOLF PRO 12TB
Just like the IronWolf 12TB drive the IronWolf Pro 12TB also arrived inside a sealed static free bag (bulk).
Nothing new in terms of appearance since the new IronWolf Pro 12TB model is identical to all the other guardian models by Seagate.
Once again a large 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.
Typically at the rear of the enclosure we see a small PCB with all the modules placed on the other side for increased protection.
Four pins (probably used for firmware updates) and the usual SATA power and data connectors are located at the rear of the drive.
