THE ULTRASTAR 7K4000 4TB

Hitachi has been using the same rugged look for their Deskstar/Ultrastar line of HDDs like forever and i have to say that i really like it.

As always the sticker placed at the top of the drive informs you of the available capacity, drive sectors, serial number, country of manufacture, electrical requirements, current firmware version, SATA connectivity (3Gb/s = SATA II) and RPMs (Rotations Per Minute).

The drive comes with the 3 standard mounting holes on each side.

The various components have been moved on the interior of the PCB for better protection.

At the end of the drive we see the usual SATA connector (again nothing new here, only SAS connectors are different).
