THE BARRACUDA PRO 10TB

Once again our sample arrived inside a clear plastic enclosure without any SATA cables and user guides like in the retail version.

This time however our sample was placed inside a static-free bag.

3.5” drives are identical in size so nothing new in that area between the BarraCuda 10TB and other 3.5” HDDs.

As expected the BarraCuda Pro 10TB uses the same smooth and cool enclosure as the IronWolf 10TB model (zinc alloy?).

As usual 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 for 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.
