Is this a software or firmware flashable options or do you have to open up the enclosure and cut a connector or something?

Update. 3.3V issue applied to my white-label drive. Using the Molex converter and the shucked drive works just fine.

So these can be shucked and used as internal drives and are they 7200 RPM?
What is their cache 128 or 256?

If you want to shuck the drive from the enclosure, you may need to run a power adapter or kapton/mylar tape over a pin on the connector for your computer to see it.
