Right, but doesn't that void warranty?

There is a video for opening the Seagate External units posted in a couple of the Seagate Archive threads. I even reposted it within the last month.

Use code EMCRFBJ24 for an extra $10 off the Newegg price.  Just ordered 2 for work.  With our Premier account, got them for 339.98 shipped..

It's just a re-rip if the array fails for whatever reason. 

You must have loads of free time, or really enjoy ripping disks. I'd rather spend a little extra coin on backing up the work product than do it again.

Screws from a crappy consumer laptop that were all different, and laid out the way they had to go back in. One swipe added half an hour to the job. But the table was clean!

LOL. I feel your pain! What I do is scotch tape the screws to the top sheet of a legal pad, roughly where they go. If I need to, I'll jot down a note or two beside the screws. That way the machine can be put aside for days and I can come back to the job without losing any time.

There's no recycle bin on unRAID.

But there is a plugin to set up a recycle bin for all samba accesses. Won't help if you log in to the console and rm -rf, but it will keep windows network connected mayhem to a minimum.
