The tricky part is when drives fail under warranty. Most suppliers
baulk at "No, you can't have my drive" when you ask for a replacement.

But seriously, don't just pop a drill or a drop saw through a drive.
There are far too many fun bits inside for that. Take it apart and
play with what's inside.
