Thank you for this video.

6:16 "2TB drive....tell some one it could be possible 10 years ago and they would kill you." LOL, well, they might not believe there would be hard drives that big, but I don't think they would actually murder you over it.

[SmutCutter]

thank you VERY much for this video!

[zionproduction]

man thanks a million. . i thought i was breaking the dang thing. i highly dont recommend this brand. I had it replace like 3 times before the warranty was up.

[Tsarevna303]

5:00 "Ike 'annot belief dis!" XD  thanks brother you are cool.

[MrRu8iXF4n]

lift the case off... gently .... *pak!!!

[beastbros]

cool dude!



[warrencriswell]

This is great. I was able to get the thing apart, hook up the drive to my computer and retrieve my data! Amazing. Thanks for the video. I think I'm done with Maxtor.

[labobo]

somewhat useful but you could have done a better job filming the inside of the case

[CliveGains80s]

I think we put the Obama magnets on purpose.

[okn0tok]

Thanks,hahaha what a pain!!

[mieriwi]

Dude, you are a hero. I could not figure out the casing for the life of me.

Simply opening the box correctly dislodged the stuck power button for me and with a new power adapter, I was able to get my data back!

Thanks

Hard to concentrate with Obama's image in the shot.

Does anyone know how to get a full refund on this Hard Drive. I've returned it atseat 4 times and it still is a POS!????

[POTSla]

Well, you don't have to pry the top/bottom parts open. Just insert an L-shaped metal sheet between the long vent slot, grab the plastic hook and pull it towards you. I've opened a OneTouch III with this method and you're greatly reducing the risk of breaking those hooks.

Anyway, thanks for the vid.

[texaskaje]

thanks!!! i always get a little shy when man-handling these things. It's nice to see someone do it first. The drives in these boxes are utter crap, but the box isn't terrible, just bad design.

obama= our big ass mistake america

[SoCrayzee]

thanks, man- this case is shit design. But buying this external 2tb was cheaper that buying 2 1tb sata drives (at the time).

[treserieux]

r u russian?

[seaniepie]

Thank you, Thank you, thank you!! Your awesome!

I have a Onetouch III Triple (single drive) and the operation is basically the same although a smaller case with no copper tape.

Kepp posting you righteous dude.

THANK YOU!!!!

[stevemagg]

GREAT!

thanks a ton

[SSJIndy]

Is this process one where you HOPE you can CHANGE the drives successfully? What's the Obama button got to do with it?

[SSJIndy]

You can slip a 1/2" piece of wood or plastic down the interior edge between the case wall and the small plastic clips.

They pop loose with only the slightest pressure - no chance of them breaking off.

[irulethe70s]

replace those shit craptors in it with 2 1TB western digital or segates when dead

[DuNx24]

Thank you, this was a great help to me when I had to get into my drive too.
