Need advice to open(dismantle) my Seagate drive

[Odie Ferrous]

You are about to endeavor on a monumental task. Before you began
thinking about dismantling a hard drive did you do some research as to
how those things are manufactured?

Interfering with a hard drive platter is not a wise thing to do. HDs
are manufactured in a clean-room environment and if opened and
reassembled by an end user the drive will not function. Tiny
microscopic dust particles [undetectable with the naked eyes] get on
the platters and when the drive spins-up, the platters inside will
disintegrate.

I don't know what the hell you've been smoking, but, crikey - that is
really, really an utter, total load of absolute bollox. What planet are
you from?

The RPM of the platters inside is so great, those tiny particles that
found themselves on the platters becomes solid and bombard the inside
of the enclosure and cause damage to the platters.

Sorry - what GALAXY are you from? If there were ever a valid case for
sectioning someone, here it is.

Open a hard drive at your own risk.

Sheesh - finally, some sense.

Wow! Disintegrate !?! To pieces, dust or just vaporize?

I think the poster meant

Have a look at modiftek's posting history.
Modiftek is an Artificial Intelligence.
It is still in an experimental state.
