Anyone have recent experience and tell what drive is inside?
TIA
From keeping up with threads over the months, it's pretty much guaranteed to be a Barracuda. I ordered one because I'm desperate for bulk cold storage, and I missed the 26TB deal.
I've gotten practice shucking quite a few of these, and I find it to be pretty easy. Use a thin plastic tool to separate the seam and take it slow going around the perimeter. You should be using leverage but applying practically no force to separate the seam. Once you get it open, there's a sticker that needs to be untaped from the drive, then it'll slide right out of the internal SATA connector. If you get really nervous over tedious tasks, it might be a stressful ordeal. At least with these drives you don't need to tape any PINs to make then operate on a standard SATA port of a PC/Server. Once pulled from the enclosure, they are plug and play.
