THE SKYHAWK 10TB

This shouldn't come as a surprise really so once again we received our sample inside a clear plastic package.

In terms of enclosure the Skyhawk is pretty much identical to the IronWolf/Pro and Barracuda Pro models (minus the different animal used on the sticker).

As always the sticker at the top of the drive contains information such as the drive serial number, factory roll-out date, interface, capacity, electrical requirements and installed firmware.

Moving 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.
