I know from reading online that the drive is known for its trouble. I got it in January 2007, so the warranty is up. And besides, WD are seriously pissing people off with their less than popular solutions [cited: http://en.wikipedia....ook#Pro_Edition].
My question is this. The case on the drive is closed with no obvious way of opening it. If I was to carefully break it open, what would I find? Is the drive an IDE drive (or SATA, perhaps)? If so, I'd like to do just that and place it into my PC as a standard internal drive. I formatted it NTSC (from FAT32) on the day it arrived, so it's perfectly compatible with my Windows XP.
My exact drive (Western Digital My Book Pro Edition):
If anyone knows this particular drive, and can answer my question without dispute, I'd be very grateful!
Thanks.
