Shucking HDD from Seagate Backup Plus Portable
How to Shuck HDD. DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT FOR REPLACING A FAILED DRIVE. This is strictly for harvesting or "shucking" the HDD for placement into another device. (In this case a Ubiquiti Cloud Key Gen 2)

How to properly use the new ALPS Mountaineering guy rope system. Took me awhile to figure it out until I had my moment of clarity. This was a dry run after purchasing it, but appears to be a fantastic tent.

This is Rammstein's Intro to their Made in Germany Tour. This was taken on 5-3-12 in Cleveland. I apologize for the horrible camerawork, but I was there to enjoy Rammstein, not take videos. I got what I did. Enjoy!
Ya know i never really understood why they use the same exact drive for both internal and external drives, as they just slapped a SATA to USB convertor on and called it a day yet charging less than the internal ones. The external drives just scream "HEY IMA BLEEED MONEY FOR FUN" as when people find out you can just harvest the delectable insides and use it with actual SATA cables the price of them will skyrocket as they should be charging more anyways because of the converter. The SATA to USB convertors alone would be neat as you can easily test to see if drives work without having to mount it plug it in and unplug it Sure the convertors would be niche anyways and more than likely be used by those with laptops and those that wanna take their precious "Homework" folder with them so no one can view it
Then what?
Good afternoon Please tell me how the disc performed over 3 years. Are there any data losses or errors? Has the speed dropped?
30k hours, no issues. SMART is fine.
I bought some feeler gauges from an auto parts store for less than $10. They're thin pieces of metal that are great for slipping between plastic crevices to pop fasteners. My feeler gauges are angled, and I usually start with the thinnest to get in then use thicker to pop the fastener.
Super useful, thanks!
Thank you for this, in my case the USB port broke, the plastic center piece that holds the contacts inside the port broke off, the contacts were still there but bent slightly, and the connector would no longer stay in place or make reliable contact. Since I have a StarTech SATA to USB3 adapter, I wanted to just remove the drive and use that adapter, which I just did thanks to this video.
I just had one of these die on me, apparently. The warranty expired in 2021, so I guess it lived an okay life??
9 years later and this video is still gold
Thanks for this video. It made my life so much easier.
Nice. Finally found it.
can it fit in a laptop
The way you did it looks very aggressive but it gave me tons of ideas on how to do it a little bit "better" thank you for your sacrifice and for the courage to do it before of us cowards.
This was hard to watch... good info but the screwdrivers, nooo. Any "shucking" with electronics I use the trim removal tools I bought off Amazon. Works great and no damage to the equipment. Good to know re the hard drive though, I have the same one so definitely doing this also and turning it into an internal version.
Son of a bitch you did it
I got same drive but it suddenly stops spinning with blinking white light, what could have been the problem?,been using it for 3years as it is portable hard drive then that happens..
Thanks a lot for the video, dude.
Yes! I hoped this video existed! I felt obtuse, but just couldn't wrap my head around it. Just got a Kelty H2go outdoor shower tent and it had these tighteners. Thank you!
Thanks! This video was extremely helpful. I just picked up the 4 man tent and didn’t know how these worked.
What size is that hard drive? It looks smaller than a desktop type drive, but smaller than a laptop drive. What am I missing? Id like to buy a portable case to replace the one I took it out of, but most look thin and used for a laptop hd and this puppy looks rather thick.
It's a 2.5" 15mm drive. Finding an enclosure for it will likely be difficult since most 2.5" enclosures assume the more typical 9mm size variant.
@@RobertPendell Thank you. Actually found seagate enclosures on THE BAY.
Just one tip: Always do a surface scan of the hard drive (which could take 12-14 hours), for example with HDD Scan b/c a few months ago I had to return 3 of those Seagate HDDs in row b/c of either bad sectors or poor sector reads which significantly affected the read speed and would obviously put your data in jeopardy. They were probably part of a bad batch perhaps due to transport issues? So I went to a different Costco location and the drive I got there was flawless.
can you elaborate? what does surface scan mean and why would it take a whole day
Thanks for this! Just a suggestion, maybe get a plastic spudger tool to minimize risk and damage to sensitive parts.
Thanks for the suggestion. I ended up getting a set of plastic body panel tools for my truck and have since used those. they work well for this kind of work.
Thankyou very much for this as ive been rattling my brain for ages 🙌👍
Very informative nice one! My laptop manufacturer states that the largest capacity hard drive I can put inside my laptop is 1TB I have a Toshiba satellite which I would like to put an external 3TB Or even larger hard drive in. Can you tell me if this is possible and perhaps even recommend a hard drive? TOSHIBA Model Number: PSPLPE-04403REN Family: SATELLITE Name: P70-A-11R
Thanks! Did this a while ago and got another drive and forgot exactly how I did it. This was helpful!
Do inside this, contain disks ? Like internal hdd ?
omg thank you! I couldn't find information on this model anywhere. Much appreciated, great video!
finally the only video in the world that shown the sata connector where you know you can use it as a sata. 99.9 of other video tear down never shows this part. you would think they know better.
Do you have to cover any SATA pins with tape or similar like on 3.5" hard drives?
That's not how you tie it! You tie the end wrong way. ua-cam.com/video/JQOuikG02Q8/v-deo.html
What size of the HDD drive u find inside 2.5" or 3.5 " and thanks for that video
You are a life saver I'm have been messing with these for 2 days
What is the thickness of the drive? I want to use a drive like that in an HP 110 mini as a nas.
15mm
@@DuffmanPimp Thank you
Looks thicker than 7 or 9mm laptop drive??
8 years later, and this video has become my lifesaver!! THANK YOU! I thinking about switching to some other adjusters
Will this laptop fit in laptop?
Is this really worth doing? Does a shucked drive have the same life as a "legit" drive, or will it lose data and fail faster? Assuming you can use this mutant thing in a standard laptop space at all?
It’s only cheaper if you get one on sale. I got mine for less than $100 via Costco, and I think on eBay they were running 120-130……but, I couldn’t verify that the eBay devices were new and unused prior to purchase. I listed the drive model number and it’s the exact drive you can buy retail…..I use this drive in my Network video recorder, which has a very high write rate, refreshing data every 30 days or so. Many other Unifi Protect owners use this drive and have no problems, even as a NVR storage. I figure laptop usage would be even better. Also, I listed the drive height previously. Hope this helps and thanks for watching.
hey ,after teardown ,can it use on the laptop that it have 2.5" drive slot ,can fit inside ?! i see it have same ,sata interface but the thickness is more than 1/2 tb hdd thickness ,if you have laptop with 2.5" hdd ,can you try do it and see can this fit inside!
Awesome. Thanks!
Amazon sells the same drives for 200 USD without external cases, lol
This was about 90 bucks through Costco.
$200 on amazon without the case and Sam's Club retail store has it for $120 with the case. The black color on Amazon instead of silver is $100 right now. What is the purpose of having a case for the external HHD? I know just keep it organize.
Worked a treat on the 2TB drive. Just saved myself about $60. I’m using it in an old Mac so low end drive is fine.
Thanks alot bro.
I have 4 of these already on order, going to load up a DS418, thanks for confirming what I thought! Can you tell me the specific Model Number on your drive?
St5000LM000
Really bad video recording
A thumbs down would have sufficed. Thank you for your feedback.
can i install the drive in normal laptop,,, will size of drive fits the drive bay in laptop
Yup, I believe most laptops are able to hold or already hold 2.5 inch hdd bays.
What is the model of this Barracuda 5TB drive?
St5000lm000
damn man i got the fake one from china it was western digital inside no wonder i cant runt it on my ps4 hopefully i can get refund
7 years later, still useful. I just got a mountain hardwear tent with a very similar design, couldn’t for the life of me figure out how they worked. Thanks!
Thanks for the view and kind words. Glad to help!
Thanks for the video. Can i use this drive as my laptop internal drive. Im not sure it is the same size as the default laptop drives?
3-5tb seagate drives are 15mm, all others are 7mm.
That means 2 tb the internal HDD can be matched with laptops or mini PCs ??
Great Video. What is the height of the drive? It looks thicker than the normal ones.
3-5tb seagate drives are 15mm, all others are 7mm.
Can I do the same for WD, or it got no SATA interface?
wd is usb on the board. Dont try, I did it.
@@jumbo1402 Had a wd mypassport that failed, took it apart to find they use their own proprietary control board, no sata connector it's a straight up usb 3 connector only.
