Is the picture a cutaway? I can't believe the actual disk itself is exposed.

It's just a picture showing you the type of disk it is and the quality of it... You can also remove the cover most disks... Think about your question...Why would you want your cylinder exposed to the environment? Damage could easily occur...

There is not any disk exposed. It's a regular SATA hard drive, which I am using right now. Probably you are having an optical illusion :)

Yes, the opening for the micro sd card is covered. There is no cutout there.

They are indistinguishable to the computer, the drive appears as one disk. It uses the SSD at-will, and you have no control over it.

It is formatted for NTFS Windows OS. Also, I have dropped it once when I was getting out of the car. The drive is totally unusable due to bad sectors after that.

The computer sees it as a USB camera. If you have something like Cheese on your Linux box you will be able to see the image. I imagine it will be similar on a mac. I never tried the enclosed software as I have similar software on my W7 box.

I don't know a definite answer, but is it a code...? like letters or numbers or something... or is it a actual watermark looking similar to a crack? more details can help troubleshoot your problem.

The one I got was NOT SEALED! Only a pice of tape keeps bag close. Tip. Check the drive runing time when you bought one. Because the dick sold me a used drive that have been ran for more 1,000 hours.

It is covered. It is not like the picture. The drive is made to go inside of your computer. It is not an external drive.

Not sure why the photos show the internal workings - the hard drive (and any I've ordered) come enclosed. You do not open it unless you are trying to physically destroy the discs... Those photos are stock photos - I did not post them.

It is closed and sealed, ready to put into your laptop. The hard drives are often shown (senselessly) as if you could see their internal parts, you will not.

It's the way these hard drives have been shown for years. The drives are closed and should never be opened. The picture is to show you what they look like inside.

It looks shiny, but there is a lot of circular, light scratches on the disk afterwards. It does not look like a new disk from the store.

It wasn't viewable in any OS I tried all three,But the last solution here worked as I had to make new partition and quick format it and in this way it also gave it a drive letter.I did this on an XP machine and Now it worked.

Hard Drive wqrranties start as of the data of Manufacture. I have no idea about the whether this is the actual drive or a stock photo. I could only guess it is a photo of the actual drive.

There is an adjustment screw on the bottom of the disk to make it tigher or more loose. It might be that it was too tight and not sliding easily. Hope this helps.
