Thanks for this video I used it to open a Seagate 5TB One Touch drive which is exactly the same as the Backup Plus drive. I have also opened a Expansion Portable drive which also has a similar drive inside. Both drives were Seagate Barracuda 5TB drives. Thanks again!! very helpful.

Thank you for this, in my case the USB port broke, the plastic center piece that holds the contacts inside the port broke off, the contacts were still there but bent slightly, and the connector would no longer stay in place or make reliable contact. Since I have a StarTech SATA to USB3 adapter, I wanted to just remove the drive and use that adapter, which I just did thanks to this video.

This was hard to watch... good info but the screwdrivers, nooo. Any "shucking" with electronics I use the trim removal tools I bought off Amazon. Works great and no damage to the equipment. Good to know re the hard drive though, I have the same one so definitely doing this also and turning it into an internal version.

I bought some feeler gauges from an auto parts store for less than $10. They're thin pieces of metal that are great for slipping between plastic crevices to pop fasteners. My feeler gauges are angled, and I usually start with the thinnest to get in then use thicker to pop the fastener.

Just one tip: Always do a surface scan of the hard drive (which could take 12-14 hours), for example with HDD Scan b/c a few months ago I had to return 3 of those Seagate HDDs in row b/c of either bad sectors or poor sector reads which significantly affected the read speed and would obviously put your data in jeopardy. They were probably part of a bad batch perhaps due to transport issues? So I went to a different Costco location and the drive I got there was flawless.

@@DuffmanPimp Hey so, this is the first time I'm hearing of this. Can shucking out a failed drive to try and see if the adapter was the issue worth it? I also read today that WD adapters failing result in the whole drive failing, is it he same for SEAGATE? Thank you.
@DuffmanPimp
@DuffmanPimp 3 жыл бұрын
@@AkshayKumarX I’ve never heard of the data adapter causing a catastrophic failure on a drive. Usually that’s from the drive hardware being faulty. I would definitely shuck a “dead” drive and connect directly to a mobo sata cable to see if it’s truly dead. You might even be able to recover data if you don’t reformat it.

Is this really worth doing? Does a shucked drive have the same life as a "legit" drive, or will it lose data and fail faster? Assuming you can use this mutant thing in a standard laptop space at all?

It’s only cheaper if you get one on sale. I got mine for less than $100 via Costco, and I think on eBay they were running 120-130……but, I couldn’t verify that the eBay devices were new and unused prior to purchase. I listed the drive model number and it’s the exact drive you can buy retail…..I use this drive in my Network video recorder, which has a very high write rate, refreshing data every 30 days or so. Many other Unifi Protect owners use this drive and have no problems, even as a NVR storage. I figure laptop usage would be even better. Also, I listed the drive height previously. Hope this helps and thanks for watching.

Ya know i never really understood why they use the same exact drive for both internal and external drives, as they just slapped a SATA to USB convertor on and called it a day yet charging less than the internal ones. The external drives just scream "HEY IMA BLEEED MONEY FOR FUN" as when people find out you can just harvest the delectable insides and use it with actual SATA cables the price of them will skyrocket as they should be charging more anyways because of the converter. The SATA to USB convertors alone would be neat as you can easily test to see if drives work without having to mount it plug it in and unplug it Sure the convertors would be niche anyways and more than likely be used by those with laptops and those that wanna take their precious "Homework" folder with them so no one can view it
