Why would you need to open it? It isn't like this model of drive will ever have head issues, right? Sounds like the perfect candidate for team dremel. Not only will many data recovery shops look like Mickey Mouse operations...they'll start to sound like it too.

At least when they are singing "em eye see, kay eee why.... em oh you ess ee!!!"

They will have the right pitch!
