Hi,

Did you answer the question on what brand the external drive is?

If you dont like the case it cme in you can alway break open the case and get either a dock or a new case cheap

I plan on making the external a internal hard drive. As I have mentioned before the usb port doesn't work no longer so that's what I'm taking it off of the enclosure.

You mentioned that the screws are recessed... How deep?

If they're not that deep, could you possibly cut a Slot in the case and screw head with a Dremel cutting wheel, in order to use a small flat-blade screwdriver...?

Get 'em at McMaster-Carr:

Both ends of the L-wrench fits the security hex.

edit: the last three lines for L-wrenches fit the security hex only on one end.

If you will show 'em your business card or show you need it for business purposes, they'll give you a free catalog. It's multi-thousand of pages thick, and it's well worth getting it, too--if you want one.
