Shucking

Seagate One Touch Desktop 8TB Portable External Hard Drive USB-C Powered

Thanks.

I know you have removed the drive now, but giving some sort of description of how you did it may help if someone else is looking to do the same.

Can find lots of guides, but not for this particular enclosure.

Did you remove the rear of the enclosure that has what looks like wavey grooves in it?

Sorry for being a PIA, it's just bugging me how you did it.

I did remove that top third, it’s plastic and held in by clips as normal.

There’s a metal piece holding the SATA connector that has to be removed, it’s held in by 4 screws and 2 pieces of tape

The smooth part is alloy and is secured by rubber feet on the bottom of the case protruding into the case and securing a frame that holds the HDD.

Pulling the rubber feet out with pliers, frees the frame and HDD.

The HDD is is secured to the frame with 4 screws covered by rubber grommets as normal.

Hope this helps.
