THE PERFORMANCE X300 10TB

The enclosure of the X300 10TB model is slightly different than the one used with the 5TB model which we reviewed a while back.

As usual the sticker on top of the drive lists the drive's capacity, rotational speed, buffer, installed firmware, electrical requirements, revision number, factory rollout date, country of manufacture, serial number, part number, barcodes and several certifications.

The rear of the drive is also quite different than that of the 5TB version but again we see that all of the modules are placed on the other side of the PCB for increased protection.

Typically, the standard SATA power and data connectors are placed at the rear end of the X300 right next to 4 pins (probably used for service purposes).
