  • Removing the desktop 320GB SATA hard drive.

  • After disconnecting the temperature sensor cables, we rotated the long black clip toward the drive to unlock it, then swung it to the side.

  • We then unplugged the SATA cables and pulled out the hard drive without removing any additional screws.

  • This screw-less design for the hard drive is nice, but unfortunately getting to this point requires removing 21 screws.
