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.
