| Ready-to-use external hard drive enclosures are usually held together by concealed clips around the edges so it has to prised open with a flat, thin-bladed tool. In some cases I have even known the two halves of the enclosure to be bonded together, making access to the drive extremely difficult. That's why many people prefer to buy an empty third-party enclosure and put their own hard drive into it. Furthermore, the drive sometimes has a proprietary, non-standard interface which is neither IDE nor SATA as we know it.
