Some of the clips WILL break, but if you're careful, the plastic casing can still be clipped back together again and reused (if you need to). Always handle with care if you're carrying it from one location to another to prolong its longevity.If you're purchasing this drive to use as the manufacturer intended (as an external USB HDD), then it gets 5/5 stars and you need read no further._If you're looking for a 2.5" HDD to use inside a laptop, in a Disk Array enclosure, inside a PS4, or other 'internal' device, then read on.This 'Expansion' drive can easily be opened up to remove the actual Hard Drive inside.And it's a far cheaper option than buying a bare 4tb 2.5" HDD.I purchased two of these 4TB drives to use in a 2.5" RAID enclosure.The HDD can be removed from it's plastic casing by gently prising away the top lid (which is clipped in).
2TB EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE FOR PC PORTABLE
I have had two other Seagate Expansion drives running for almost 4 years with no problems.Please remember, just because these (or any other) portable HDD's are 'portable' doesn't mean that they should still be moved or knocked around too much. The HDD is easily powered by the supplied USB cable. I would suggest putting on some small rubber 'feet' on the base to lift it up and allow any heat to dissipate more freely. This review is for the 4TB Expansion Drive (with the 'diamond square cut' plastic case).Great compact enclosures.
