Reason for Sale

I am selling the enclosure only in working condition. It housed a 8 TB HDD which has been shucked out. Some of the enclosure clips may have sustained some damage but it works fine otherwise. All accessories including the power adapter are included and it comes with the original box.
Please keep the thread clean and if you are interested send a DM or leave a message below and I will contact you. Shipping will be extra at actuals and I will use ShipRocket. Note that the price is fixed and any DMs on negotiation or lowballing will be ignored. Additional photographs can be shared with those who would be genuinely interested.

I think that tape mod thing has to be done to the shucked HDDs. That too depending on the power supply you are connecting them to. Just a heads up. It's not a good idea to attach an HDD with DATA is they usually need to be reformatted.

Correct. I thought @chetansha was referring to the power pins of the board used to connect to the HDD. If it is some other pin or IC then the buyer will need to first find out if the problem exists or not and then find out the workaround. I used the board to test a couple of other HDDs and it worked fine. If any buyer wants, I can retest with other HDDs and confirm with screenshots. I found this link for the WD MyBook enclosure but do note that I am selling the Elements enclosure so this may not even apply -
