THE DESKTOP SSHD 4TB

As usual the drive arrived alone inside a static-free bag.

Appearance-wise the Desktop SSHD looks just like any other 3.5" model (although it reminds us of enterprise class models mostly).

At the sticker ontop of the drive you can see the model name, capacity, serial number, part number, barcodes, electrical requirements, installed firmware and the factory rollout date (our sample left the factory on 09/11/2013).

The PCB placed at the rear is the same green color as always with Seagate drives and the controllers/chips are placed on the opposite side.

Right next to the SATA III data and power connectors we see 4 pins which are most likely used for FW updates.
