THE ENTERPRISE CAPACITY 3.5 V4 6TB SAS 12GB/S

We received the sample by Seagate in its bulk form so nothing aside that was in the box (Seagate actually send us two samples but since our LSI 12Gb/s card doesn't support RAID for now we had to test them in single mode).

Appearance-wise the housing of the SAS variant is identical to the SATA one so nothing new to see here.

At the top of the drive we find the usual information sticker printed on which is the drive product number, serial number, electrical requirements, warning/certification logos, connectivity, country of manufacture, installed firmware version and the coded factory roll out date (2014-05-03 in this case).

The rear side is also identical to that of the SATA model and of course all of the modules are placed on the interior of the PCB for increased protection.

Four pins (probably used for FW updating) and the SAS connector are placed at the rear end of the drive.
