Hi, I need to swap out one of my hard drives. I replaced one before in an older PC, so I thought it would be straightforward again. But it wasn't! I have attached some photos. How do I get access to the screws holding the hard drive? The metal strip above seems to require removal first, but it appears to be surrounded by small round screws. Hope someone can clarify this.

Can multiple photos be uploaded to Imgur simultaneously, or must each be processed separately?

The entire pod is removed. After that, you can take out the drives from the pod.

There are secure fasteners securing it, but it can be disassembled.

Take off four lower plastic clamps and
take out two screws.
Look for screws on the opposite side of the PC case too.
After removing all the screws, you should be able to take down the drive cage.

Front cover removed successfully, but the fans are positioned inside the hard drives. It seems they’re not accessible via standard screws. The person who made this should have considered that.

Yes, that worked. The next step is identifying which drive you should remove. Both models are the same, one is G and the other is F; I need to delete the F one.
