    They’re an external kit, so what’s in em? Can we crack the shell and use the guts for real/internal disks?

      Recent batches have Exos 2x14 drives in them. I have three of those. I bought two a couple of years ago that had regular Exos x14’s in them. And yes, “shucking” means opening them up and separating their valuable contents. That’s how I am using my drives as plain SATA drives in a SAS2 disk shelf. The Seagate Expansion Desktop case, however, is designed such that the plastic clips holding it together will break easily.
