2. Do the same thing with the other side. Your enclosure should now look like this:
(The masking tape isn't related to this procedure; I just like to
note the voltage and polarity of the power supply on devices

[12 volts 2 amps, + on the inside, - outside for this drive.]
)
3. Pry the side with the blue LED light under it (not the side with the power and USB connectors);
you should be able to get the drive to fall partway out of the cover on this side if you hold it
close to vertical and gently pry & rock the casing back & forth. Like this:
That's a nail file, not the
sharp knife
Bottom part
should fall
away from
top casing
like this
