Wish it had been originally published one week earlier, just before I dismantled a few casings…

It was published two years ago actually, for Black Friday 2020. However, when I went to post my Black Friday 2022 posting in the Deals section, I happened to notice that the link to the shuck article was only a standard forum thread, so I rejiggered it and posted it in the Resources. My apologies for the oversight. I know that there are a number of my older legacy articles posted before we had a Resources section that should exist in Resources as well, I've slowly been hunting these down and reposting them as Resources.

Excellent tips / strategy as not damaging the many little embedded fasteners is very difficult and a "tell" for WD to deny warranty coverage. I stored the "giblets" consisting of the USB-SATA interface, bumpers, LED light pipe, etc. in a sandwich bag alongside the cases (whose laser-etched serial # has to match that of the drive inside the case) in a tote with a expiration date on the outside.

After the warranty period ran out, I recycled the still-pristine cases and contents in the local trash pickup. However, I found a even better use for the innumerable power supplies by sending them to centerclick (https://centerclick.com/ntp/), makers of the excellent NTP 200 server. He uses the same type 12VDC power supply.
