open Hard Disk Drive - showing Head Crash

Try to compare it with one of those old LP records: imagine you're playing a song and moving the record player which is like moving a running laptop when it's reading/writing on the hard drive. Just one little hit and you might have a crack in your LP record. If that's not sooo big you won't even notice it on a hard drive because the electronic takes care of it by trying to avoid that section.

How to fully DISASSEMBLE a SeaGate FreeAgent GoFlex Portable External Hard Drive

Yes, finally, a video on how to take these crazy things apart. Well, as I say in the video I'm not 100% sure I'm the absolute FIRST to do it, but if I'm not, well now it's one video easier to find if that makes sense. So yeah this is a video on how to take apart the presumably latest model of the portable GoFlex hard drives. It's really easy to do, in fact it's almost TOO easy. The actual hard drive itself, meaning the one inside the enclosure. is apparently not manufactured and sold separately as a stand alone drive. So as a result there isn't much info about it, but from what I can make out it is a 5400 rpm SATA drive. It also feels slightly thicker than usual, which is something that I DO mention in the REASSEMBLY video, but not this one. However maybe it's a normal thickness. I don't know. I've only handled so many 2.5 inch drives, in fact I've only handled a total of two.
