As expected we received our sample of the 3TB Red HDD inside a static-free bag.

Appearance-wise the 3.5" Red HDDs follow the standard housing we've seen plenty of times in the past.

The large sticker at the top includes the drives serial number, part number, factory roll out date, cache size, capacity, electrical specifications, a 2d barcode and several certification logos.

Although several years ago HDDs still had some of their control and cache chips on the exterior of the PCB placed at the rear for the past few years all drives have them on the interior for increased protection.

The usual SATA power and data connectors are located at the rear right next to 8 pins probably used for firmware updates.
