How do you open the drive to expose the interior? There are no screws or anything.

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.

Eyes. The box comes open so you can install up to a 2TB drive in it. Then you put the screws in the cover and hook it up.

It just slides in and you use old screws from old driver. I believe this one has a face plate. All I did was unscrew the screw on the bottom unplug cable slide out old drive. And slide new drive in plugged cable in and replaced the screw. And bam done

There are 2 doors on the front. The one on the left is for USB's and headphones, etc. The door on the right is for CD's. Push the small button located below the left-hand door and the right door will open. The disks go in standing up on edge, with the label side facing out. Hope this helps.

Not sure if I understand the question but from what I remember you unscrew those 4 screws with an allen key and it opens right up. Installing the hard drive is pretty simple. Just plug it on in, and you're good to.

Not easily, if at all. There are no visible screws (there may be some hidden underneath the foot pads) and the only visible seam runs around the top edge. It would be lovely to be able to pop in a SSD but @ 7200 RPM it's a great little drive for the price.

Likely not the caddy (which basically to secure the drive in place). Possibilities: loose connection(s) such as drive not firmly inserted to the inner mini sata connector, etc.

There's a compartment on the side that you can slide open. I don't remember exactly in that I replaced this item with one that actually worked, so I don't have it to look at anymore. I gave this a poor review.

The problem is it doesnt look like the wires are accessible, they are covered with black plasticIve opened it up very carefully and I cannot see where the wires are joined inI think I am going to have to risk sending it back, hoping that they wont touch the drive when they repair it

One screw to remove and replace. On mine I also had to remove the old drive from a carrier (three screws) and install the new drive on the carrier before reinstalling. Unfortunately it did not fix my problem - my problem was caused by a motherboard failure.

A case wasn't included with the drive, so I pack it in an old zippered case purchased for another item I purchased a few years ago. I'm sure you can find something appropriate. Jim

There is a standard metal shield around the spinning parts (not shown in product photo). Bare drive usually means there is no external case with a USB or other connection port.

There is a cover on the right back side that you pull off. Pull out the old drive and plug in the new.

At the top right hand side of the unit is a vertical button push it in and the cd drive should open.

Not easy. Poke the loop end of the string through the slot on the back of the drive. You might have to use a toothpick or dental pick to get it through. Then insert the metal end through the loop.

My Sabrent enclosure is different from your choise. My enclosure contains four small screws that are easy to open and close. It is a little time consuming if you intend to use several 2.5-inch HDDs and replacing them frequently.
