    • The 2.5" hard drive in the Maxtor OneTouch 4 Mini isn't a Maxtor drive at all. It's a Seagate Momentus 5400.5 LD25.2 hard drive.

    • Here is the Seagate product overview to the Momentus 5400.2 hard drive, model number ST980210AS

    • Removing the EMF shield reveals a small PCB that plugs directly into the SATA and power connections of the Momentus 5400.5. It doesn't even have a physical connection to the RFI shield -- it just hangs off the back of the drive itself. The SATA connections to the drive are soldered to the PCB itself.

    • The controler board's chip is made by Initio. It is a Initio INIC-1605 USB to SATA Bridge Chip

    • Just to keep in mind, taking your external drive apart would void the drive's warranty. It's just something to know if your external drive is under warranty.

    • Even though the hard drive's label reads "Not Suitable for Laptop Computer Use", it still works perfectly as a laptop hard drive.
