May seem a simple question, but how do you open this SSD? Normally you can see indentations of screws through the labels, but this seems absolutely flat like its been glued together?

get a spudger, a good strong stainless one and slip it between the plastic shell. it is held together with clips probably. most sandisks are. something like these http://www.lightinthebox.com/metal-pry-spudger-opening-tools-kits-herramientas-mobile-phone-repair-tool-for-iphone-ipad-samsung_p6228210.html?currency=AUD&litb_from=bing_shopping&utm_source=bingshopping&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=bingshopping another trick is to search for reviews and look at the case disassembly pictures for seeing how it is held together. BTW, in the sandisks that I have pulled apart, the PCB only goes to just under where the red SanDisk word ends, and there are 2 clips also holding case together there. You have to force it quite hard, while being careful! |

Many thanks. I will break out the spudgers and report back. |

It must be snapped together with plastic locking tabs, as HaQue says. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?strip=1&q=cache:http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/sandisk-z400s-dram-less-ssd,4316-2.html http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/sandisk-z400s-dram-less-ssd,4316-2.html  Quote: Every aspect of the Z400s is designed to reduce production costs. The drive itself is made to a level that would be unacceptable by an enthusiast's standards. The enclosure is almost entirely plastic, aside from thin metal inserts for mounting screws. And there isn't a single screw holding the chassis together.

Funny  but with no moving parts, and how difficult it is to get open, I don't see a need for screws. The build quality can be good while being minimal and non-expensive.I have upgraded around 30 Dell 960's and the hard disk bracket assy... I left it out entirely and cable tied the drive in. not a good idea to do that with something like a Kingston that has an aluminium case. If you are worried what a drive inside your PC looks like, that in most cases you cant see.. then Enthusiast is not the only word that comes to mind

Thanks for the comments and help. For anyone that has the same SSD, these are the clips and locations which will help opening the little sucker.
