Can you attach a keyring/lanyard to this drive? A couple of pics make it seem like the back is open, but the last 2 show a bar across the opening. ??

Yep.Why would you want to? Expensive key ring. I use mine for storage, period. It's full of music and stored away. Much better and cheaper, overall, than CDs/DVDs. More dependable.

Yes, there a two small holes. Key chain(small) included, you can be used a key ling.

yes, you can,I used mine that way for a while but I would suggest that you wrap the drive in some like a static bag if using a metal case.

Check that the pins in the usb opening havent bent due to inserting at an angle. Format the drive. What happens when you insert it into a computer?

Thank you. I had the same question. When I bought it, I found it came with an enclosure. I don't understand why both WD and Seagate show multiple pictures of the drive opened up. It confuses the buyer, as what you receive is a sealed drive, not an open case. If the case is left open the disk can be damaged very easily. I believe they are actually sealed in a clean room. But many people do not know that, and it does not excuse the poor presentation of this product.

It comes with a tool to open the case. One thing I noticed, I had to take the padding on the top and trim it to make my drive fit because the padding was too thick to let the lid go back in place properly.

No, this is just the drive only. You will need to use your existing mount, bracket, or carrier since each is unique to its own computer.The drive should attach without any problems to your mounting hardware.

Yes, there is a plastic moulded hole at the other end of the USB drive, which you can put a thread or lanyard through.

No! You only open the lateral slot and connect the hard drive! The rest he do it itself

NO. It is only a BDRL drive. It does not even come with any hardware to install or connect it.

You are smarter than me because I'm not sure what an HDD is? Assuming it's another discdrive it appears on the outside it could be, but I have no idea what's on the inside behind the plastic face.

You have to open the back and look at how the first drive is mounted. Make sure there are connection wires available and connect it the same way the other one is set up. If you have any difficulty, check with Gateway or a Computer geek shop in your area.EC

Not really. There is a small hole on the usb portion but I haven't found anything that fits to attach it to my key ring. I don't really remove it from my computer so it hasn't been an issue for me.

I've never had that problem. I have a larger key ring attached, no keys on it. Maybe that helps.

Hi, The metal keyring is fastened to the body of the drive. Removing it would damage the outside of the drive and it would not be able to be reconnected.

sorta, with mine, it disappeared completely, and was nearly impossible to get out, the adapter came with tape on it that apparently was there to help you pull the device out if you needed to take it out. i would recommend the nifty one that costs twice as much if you plan on taking the drive out often, i still use this drive everyday but i never take it out and have locked the drive so i cant accidentally eject it

You should not need to open the drive to expose the interior. Just attach the USB cable to the drive and attach the other end of the cable to a USB 2.0 port on your PC. Your PC should recognize he drive and you are ready to go.
