    Before it's asked… yes, you can crack these open and use them in a NAS. I run six of these exact drives in my NAS and they've all been working perfectly for over 10 months. I have another two in another NAS and have helped friends & family build NAS boxes with many of these too and they've all been fine. $160 is a pretty good price for local stock, Nice OP!

      crack these open and loose your warranty. Or just go to umart or msy and get a proper HDD with warranty to use in your desktop or NAS.

        I seriously doubt you would lose your warranty.
        Though SteveAndBelle above, could test that for us.

        Wanna do a warranty check on one of the drives serial numbers?

        I doubt they record what drive goes into a plastic case vs not. It'll come down to manufacture date.

          to do a warranty claim you would need to return the whole drive in enclosure. if there is any sign of tampering then you void the warranty. the manufacturer will use anything they can against you to limit their exposure.

          @Logical:
          Whoa, calm down everyone! Only one day to the weekend so no need for the bad vibes :)

          Either way it's easy to remove the drives without damaging the enclosures and Seagate had no problem with a drive I recased to return in years past (a tempremental DOA) but your're right Logical, for another $10 or so you could just buy the raw drive from a local computer shop and be done with it. This was very different when I bought my drives as the raw drives were over $70 more than I paid for my externals basically netting me two drives for 'free'.

      Can you give us an indication of the model?
      TIA

        These should be the STBV4000100 containing the ST4000DM000 HDD… unless they've updated the model in recent weeks.

    No success with using DEAL10 to get $10 off. Limited stores for pick up at $170.

    Can you use these like a portable HDD for a laptop?
    Is it just an extra powerpoint plug in?
