Schritt 5

Using the Phillips #0 screwdriver, remove the (3) three 3 mm screws.

Schritt 6

Slide the drive away from the connector by applying pressure on the two side tabs where screws were removed. Use a plastic opening tool as a lever to lift the drive out.

The hard drive can also be slid backward from the connection. Then the clips will clear and can be easily lifted out. Additionally, it disconnects the hard drive at the same time. This also keeps from possibly breaking the clips or damaging the drive by prying.
