Per Google AI search results:
Yes, the Western Digital EasyStore 16TB (WDBAMA0160HBK-NESN) is generally considered shuckable, allowing you to remove the internal drive from its enclosure. It typically contains a WD White Label drive, and you may need to use the 3.3v pin trick (tape method) to make it work with standard power supply cables.
Key Considerations for this Model:
  • 3.3v Pin Issue: Shucked WD drives often require covering the third pin (3.3v) on the SATA power connector with Kapton tape to prevent the drive from failing to power on.
  • White Label Drives: The drive inside is usually a "white label" Helium-filled drive (often equivalent to a WD Red/Red Pro or White Label Ultrastar) rather than a retail-branded drive.
  • Warranty: Shucking (disassembling the plastic enclosure) will likely void the manufacturer's warranty.
  • Alternative: The 16TB EasyStore is often favored by data hoarders for its high capacity at a lower price point compared to bare drives.

Have you looked at hard drive prices in 2026? My $160 drive I bought in 2023 is going for $489 now.
