Western Digital Elements

So I bought a Western Digital Elements 1TB drive last week. For some reason it’s a mystery what’s inside these devices. I decided to disassemble, open up, take apart, dismantle, autopsy or whatever you call it so that I can document what’s inside. Mine which has the model number “wdbaau001hbk-01” on the bottom has a “wd10ears-00y5b1” drive in it, WD Caviar Green SATA/64MB cache 5400RPM. I think it’s a pretty enclosure, but not at all necessary. I apologize, I can’t find where I found instructions to open it. It’s pretty straight forward. Use a knife or something with a good edge to pry it open a little. Then I used a guitar pick to go around the edge and pry the clips along the inside. I’m going to do some crazy stuff to it, more to come. Maybe some pictures!
