Does anyone know how to safely remove the drive from the external enclosure?

Get a small, flat-bladed screw driver and gently insert between the aluminum top and the plastic bottom. Rotate the screwdriver slightly to pry the top off. At this point slide the screwdriver around the perimeter and the top will come off. Once the top is off, you will see the top of the internal drive. Carefully remove from the plastic lower without prying or subjecting the drive to significant shock. It is easiest to remove by lifting the side opposite the USB connector. Once the drive is out of the plastic enclosure, you'll need to remove some aluminum tape and wax paper from the drive. Be careful when doing this to avoid ESD which may damage drive circuitry. Once the tape and paper are removed, the USB to SATA board can be carefully removed from the drive. It is an interference fit without any fasteners. You now have a bare 2TB, Samsung Spinpoint 9T drive that is only 9.5 mm tall! Great for laptops and the PS4.I'll try to post some photos later.

what is the difference between this and the "fast" version that costs 200$? Think the dimensions are different, could it be a 7200rpm vs 5400rpm

As the other users have said, this means it's using two drives in Raid 0 mode, meaning you split the data between two drives to effectively double your speed. The Seagate site says 120mb/s vs. 220mb/s. While this sounds great, realize that by splitting your data between two drives, you are also effectively doubling your statistical chance that one will fail causing you to lose said data. It's not a good idea for storage, but fine if you need read/write performance for something like using the drive as a cache/scratch disk for video editing.

Does it work with ps4?

The 2 TB or smaller ones will work with the PS4 after they are removed from the enclosure, but the 4TB one will not. It is larger than the other ones and will not fit. Or at least I could not get mine to fit as it is double the thickness of the current 500gb hard drive that was in my PS4. So if this is for a PS4 make sure to purchase the 2TB or smaller ones!!

does this item need cables if so are they included
