does the WD Elements 2TB external hard drive have an adapter? To take out the HD and put it into a caddy and recover data?
Hi @MartinGaul
Have you opened a Support Case? If not opened, for more information, please contact the WD Technical Support team for the best assistance and troubleshooting:
The WD Elements 2TB external hard drive doesn’t have a separate adapter or removable enclosure. To use the drive in a different caddy for data recovery, you’ll need to open the existing enclosure, remove the hard drive, and then put it into a compatible new caddy. Make sure the new caddy fits the drive’s size (2.5-inch) and interface (SATA).
