![]() ![]() Larry Larry, so the case is simple, and you may have already found the answer. I found two screws under the little feet and I removed them but not wanting to break the case I am stumped. Gaucho, Please help me with how to disassemble outer case of the HP SD320a USB drive. ![]() Maybe latter in an external twin HDD container (if I'm successful with that drive, I'll get an other one since it was only 99$ Any 2TB sells for 200$ around here, even mail-ordered, because of Quebec-squid's taxes. For now I wanna run that HDD on the internal connection (if I understood earlier post and some other forums, that drive is suppose to work as itself, as a HDD, without that board). I wanna throw away that board since it is the main cause for this trauma. Soldering is not the problem for me, it's the visual: I would need to magnify that thing 50x cause it's that small and much 8x more circuits than yours (it's on a 2x2½ inch board) and then know what and where to solder (it's really not the same board order). I don't have a cam to show a pic and my scanner is setup on the PC that is running Darik's Boot'n'Nuke (DBAN) for a few more couple of days now. It's a WDC WD20EADS-00W (WD Caviar green) hard-drive setup on a different board and much smaller than the one you have. I'm glad I found this post and that you found a cure for that HP disease.īut mine is a 2TB simplesave.
