When you open the case you'll find that the Sata to Usb Controller has been soldered to the hard drive. So unless you want to unsolder the drive from the controller, you're out of luck! The ability to remove the drive and use it was one of the things I used to love about the Old External drives, but they have seen fit to "fix that problem"! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
