Western Digital Head alignment

[iDan]

I know that some WD drives you cannot open due it disrupting the head alignment.

I was wondering which WD drives that applies to? Is it just the cavier greens?

@iDan,

As drc said, you'll get up to speed better by reading the previous discussions, but your comment below is not correct:

Those drives can be opened - in fact they must be opened to replace the heads, for example. However then need special alignment techniques to be used afterwards, and those techniques are effectively trade secrets.
