I have two old G-Technology external drives that have a thick metal casing. I’ve taken all the screws out and the HD still doesn’t budge. Any suggestions on how to get it out?
Thanks.

check that there are no screws hidden under stickers.

there’s a number of youtube disassembly videos, this one in participial shows the hidden screw. once removed, the case slides open easily.

Thanks! Mine’s an even older(!) model, but I think I see where a hidden screw might be…
