I have just received my new Verbatim 43888 drive. It works perfectly and I am able to rip blueray and UHD.
I want to mount this drive internally inside a Dell Optiplex. I assume that inside the Verbatim USB device is a standard SAT drive?
How do I open it?
There are no screws or anything else that seemes like a way in. Just two narrow slits down each side.
Thanks, George

Re: Opening Verbatim 43888
Pretty much this will need brute force because the two housings are just connected usings snaps. It will most likely have a slim SATA interface. So you will need a slim SATA to full size SATA adapter and also a special drive bay for the slim drive to fit a 5,25" bay. Pretty expensive and in addition you lose your warranty for the Verbatim drive. I recommend not to do this. Tell me your country of residence and I will suggest to get a full size 5,25" Pioneer drive that still can be made UHD capable.gck303 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 05, 2024 6:32 amI have just received my new Verbatim 43888 drive.

I have a SFF optiplex which takes a slimline drive.
So... I am guessing that if I prize it open that it should fit just fine?

I don't like the idea.
1) You will void warranty
2) You still need the slim to full size SATA adapter
Depending on your country you can get a full size flashable Pioneer starting at $80. Instead of spending the money on anythimg else you would have a second drive. Let me / us know and you will get a PM.

Verbatim 43888 on Amazon.fr. Doesn't need to be flashed. Full size Vinpower 212V also on Amazon. Needs to be flashed.wblondel wrote: ↑Sat Sep 21, 2024 3:36 pmHello, I live in France.
