At $56.99 that puts it at $28.50 per TB. Which is a meh price per TB in the grand scheme of things since the smaller capacity portable mechanical drives almost always have a higher per TB price (average $8 to $10 more) than their higher capacity bothers. Currently (as of this post) the Best Buy Easystore portable 5TB is priced at $99.99 making that drive $20 per TB.

Now if you mean can it be "shucked", then the answer is no. Generally the portable WD drives like the portable Easystore and portable Elements have the USB port embedded into the 2.5 inch hard drive. If you want a "shuckable" external hard drive then look at some of the Seagate portable drives or look to the larger footprint external desktop drives (3.5 inch sized).
Edit to add: Deal of the day price is over. Price for this 2TB drive is back to its regular recent price of $59.99 (on the morning of 3/27/21).

Mind, if one needs to use these with a Raspberry Pi or something, these lower capacity 2.5" drives with fewer platters use less power and could work more reliably.
