Popping the drive out: Picture #8 shows the drive out. Using my method (just letting the tabs break), while there might be enough left to snap it back together somewhat, this is something of a 1-way street. So far as I can tell, the only way not to break them would be to slide a thin knife into the lip then down the side and pry, which might not work so well and is more likely to damage the drive and muck up the case around the seam anyway. Note that most of the permanent locking tabs were broken in the process (pic #5). I expanded the lid enough to get a flat-sharp chisel in and used that for the bulk of the prying. Removing case top: There’s a seam along the top lid of the case – I found it easiest to get a knife inside the seam on the connector-side of the unit. The Backup Plus can be done with fingernails – for the Expansion Portable you’ll need a knife and another tool of sorts for prying.

At the very least it’ll be a bit harder to claim a warranty when the thing’s clearly been disassembled. Some (Western Digital especially) don’t have an SATA connector on the internal drive. Now before someone starts buying up portable external drives like a madman, I should warn you that: In our case, “de-casing” the portable hard drive so we can use the internal 2.5″ drive as a standard hard drive. Turns out it is!īefore going further, since “shucking” isn’t an overly popular term, it essentially means “de-shelling”. While my previous “Backup Plus” Seagate 4TB variant had proven shuckable in the past, I wasn’t positive if the “Expansion Portable” variant that happened to be on sale (the Seagate STEA4000400) could be shucked or not. Linux, Windows, and OSX are unable to open it to reformat.The computer serving as a NAS was in need of another hard drive. We have lost several 100GB sized research projects.

After two months, the drive has started to beep when read attempts are made.

If you need to use an extension data cable, be sure as well to buy 3.0.

Also be aware that if you, as I do, have an older computer with several outdated USB 2.0 ports, or a USB hub that is 2.0, this EHD won't work as well with them as with USB 3.0.

Very small, much smaller than I thought, was thinking it was a larger form factor like the older archive drives I have.

That software works so well that I've kept a large NTFS partition on the disk so I can also use it with my Windows PC and Synology NAS

It comes with a free copy of Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X (which only works on Seagate drives) which was a pleasant surprise.

That all being said, it's compact, it's a GREAT price for a TB of storage, the blue color is cute, and you get 200gb of free cloud storage for 2 years with purchase, so that's awesome.

I was paying $4/month for 100GB OneDrive storage, so the 2 year free subscription is saving me $96 total, and I have twice the storage! Wow, I got the drive for free and got paid $40 to buy it.

Great disk, and what a value with 200GB of OneDrive.

If I don't reformat the hard drive, I will eventually lose all my pictures due to a damaged drive. If I reformat the hard drive, I lose all my pictures.

After 1 year, the device keeps telling me I need to reformat it.

Worse, Windows would shut down, and I had to turn off the PC manually.

I currently have two older EHD, and when I hooked this EHD to the same USB hub as them, my desktop PC would not allow me to eject this EHD.

I have 20 years of photos saved to this thing it's about 1/4TB of space being used up.

The packaging is very easy to open-no clamshell plastic.

It is good value for the money in terms of a full 4TB of storage.

It is amazingly small and compact, not much bigger than my cell phone.

For a little over $100.00 that is very satisfying. But now having that much storage in a 2.5 inch diameter platter package is very satisfying.

A few years ago, the very idea of having 4 terabytes of storage on a single device seemed a ways off.

I originally purchased this product for my Xbox One to increase my storage space, and it seems to work very well! The Xbox recognized the hard drive instantly and I had no issues setting it up.
