A disclaimer before you begin: taking apart your hard drive will likely void its warranty so take these steps if you are certain that this is the route you want to take. The procedure for going about this is laid out into three basic steps: checking drive health, dismantling, and installing. The good news is, we know just how to work around the external hard drive manufacturer’s in built blocking mechanism and we will show you how to bypass the 3.3 v signal detector to prevent virtually any hard drive from blocking the installation. You can call this a business tactic that the whole electronic storage industry is mutually aboard on, but we have a way for your to diagnose your hard drives and navigate around this issue to potentially convert them into internal storage units.

Maybe, because some hard drive manufacturers put lock mechanisms on their hard drives to keep you from dismantling them and configuring them as internal storage units. Yes, because from a technical standpoint, dismantling and installing them is rather easily possible. The answer to this question is yes, maybe. However, they are significantly less expensive which then begs the question whether these can be converted into internal storage drives and used inside your PC. This should mean that they cost more because they require more material to build.

From a cost standpoint, this is baffling because external hard drives require more materials to manufacture into separate units and have an additional mechanism altogether that lets them connect via USB to your personal computer. Anyone out to upgrade their computer’s storage capacity or find alternative means of storage to meet their needs will make the baffling but apparent observation that external hard drives are significantly cheaper than inbuilt internal ones.
