简介
关闭外置硬盘驱动器涉及拆卸外部外壳并收集里面的裸露硬盘驱动器。从那里,您可以在家庭服务器、NAS或PC中使用驱动器。本规程向您展示了如何在保持机壳完好无损的同时拆卸硬盘驱动器。
关闭外置硬盘驱动器是以更优惠的价格获得大量存储空间的好方法。许多外置硬盘驱动器使用服务器级硬盘驱动器,如果您在没有外部盘柜的情况下独立购买,其成本几乎是服务器级硬盘驱动器的两倍。
本指南演示了从WDBWLG0120HBK-NESN型号的Western Digital抖动WD Elements 12TB外置硬盘驱动器,但该过程可以适用于任何WD Elements 3.5英寸外置驱动器。
“注:”在抖动之前,请务必启动外置驱动器,并使用HD Tune Pro或Stablebit Scanner等程序对坏扇区进行深度扫描。如果检测到任何错误,请将驱动器退还给零售商或制造商。

用手按压角落里的四个橡胶块,将硬盘驱动器从框架中解开。
Wtf. How? This doesn’t work.
Ok, got it, but these directions are terrible. You don’t want to push the blocks out, like the illustration and directions say, because they literally can’t be pushed out. They need to be lifted up while the plastic shell is manipulated until the drive is loosened.
Thanks, Feddy!

请务必保留机壳以及随附的所有部件和螺丝,直到保修到期。之后,带他们去R2或e-Stewards认证回收商。您还可以在r/DataHoarder上将它们提供给人们进行重复使用。
要重新组装驱动器和机壳,请按相反的顺序按照以下说明操作。

I have a question. Is it possible to take a similar drive but smaller capacity like this about and turn it into a portable drive from it having to have a power supply?
It is not possible. The problem is that a 3.5” disk drive (as used in the Elements drive) needs 12 V as well as 5 V, and they need more power than a USB socket can typically deliver. 2.5” disk drives operate from just a 5 V supply, and, having smaller disks inside, they use less power to start up, so they can be run completely through USB.
Hi Craig! My PC sees it as Local Disc (E:) and wants to format it. Can’t do that! Is there a workaround? This was due to a power surge and I think it was just the adaptor power supply that got damaged. Running W10Home21H1 on Lenovo DESKTOP-699CIMO. Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz 16,0GB 64bits Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Cheers, Marco
On Step 14, you see there are no screws to take the HDD cover off. How do you take the cover off the HDD to get inside?
lol + other characters to allow comment
I have a WD element 4T and it will not power up. New cable and power adapter. It was stabilized in one spot for over a year, powered up just to store my movies. Plug it up after two weeks of none use and would not power up, no light inside. What can be done? My other storage drives work fine. By the way, you have the best directions on the web.

I just wrote you about WD Element, it is a 5.0TB Sata/64MB Cache, WD50EZRZ
WDBlue PC Hard Drive. It will not power up. I wonder if I can get a new USB controller board for it? I am only interested in getting information off of the hard drive. Can an "WEme USB 3.0 to SATA Converter Adapter for 2.5 3.5 Inch Hard Drive Disk SSD HDD" work to power it up to retrieve the Data?

Hey Tim, yeah so if you already tried a new power adapter, then it could be a bad controller board. If the drive is already shucked (or you don't mind shucking it), then you can get a SATA to USB adapter to see if the drive will boot up. That will at least rule out the USB controller board.
Very informative explenation wih clear pictures that show EXACLY in which direction to move the tool to safely detach the casing from the clips without breaking them, much better than most YouTube video's.
Only, I've used two old bank cards. That is i.m.o. much safer than using a metal knife or "Jimmy". With two plastic credit- or bank cards or two guitar picks it's almost impossible to damage the case.
Thank you for the guide!
I found that I had a 3 TB Toshiba hdd lying around which I put in one of WD Elements enclosures I was about to recycle. Now I have a fully stacked NAS as well as an external hdd :)
And I'm keeping a controller board + wall wart to be used as simple usb-to-sata device.
Hi.
Is possible on this box, change the HDD. For example. I have WD Elements to 4Tb and have another ( Seagate ) 12Tb and I thinking to change the HDD 4Tb for 12Tb using the same case.
Is possible?
Thanks a lot
Did it successfully with fairly limited experience of taking electronics apart (other than joycons a few times), didn't even break any clips. Worked fine for me installing it in a PC without taping over anything.
Can I remove the drive and install in a new enclosure? My WD 8tb no longer mounts on my mac. I think it's probably the usb port or whatever communicates with the port.
