Desktop 3.5" hard disk disassembly, take apart, teardown tutorial

HITACHI HDS721616PLA380 3.5" disassembly. This video will show how to take apart hard disk, necessary screw and cable removals. This drive was taken apart just for fun, if dust gets inside to the disk chamber, it will damage it permanently.

A little bit late, but I tore down two other similar HDD's. The screw driver is a Torx 8 (T8H/TR8).

[@marcinl2996]

sometimes you need other size Torx, I could not believe a company used 2 different sizes in the same assembly. Like it was some sick joke, it was the bearing screws holding the disks. T8 and T7, I have even needed a T6 on some laptop hard drives.
