How to Shuck a 12 TB Western Digital Elements External Hard Drive in About 2 Minutes

In this video, I show you how to shuck the internal SATA hard drive from a WD External 12 TB Elements in real-time, with the purpose of removing the internal disk from its enclosure in a non-destructive way. By doing so, you can use it as an internal HDD in your PC, workstation, server or NAS device, and re-use the empty case in the future. We'll also look at the label to find out the Western Digital model number of the disk, and discuss the possibility of requiring the 3.3V pin fix.
