Easy Disassembly of Seagate Expansion 12TB USB Drive

If you want to extract the hard drive from a Seagate Expansion USB drive, we show you how to do it.

After we unboxed and disassembled our 12TB Seagate Expansion USB was a standard Seagate EXOS X16 drive ST12000NM001G. In the video the full disk spec is shown and prices of the identical bare drive are shown.

We show how to perform the disassembly with standard tools even though we had proper disassembly tools.

Pulling the hard drive out of a Seagate Expansion USB kit and then installing that drive into a PC was $100 less expensive that just buying the bare 3.5" 12TB Seagate EXOS Drive.
