If it's the same as the 4TB... I removed np and fitted internally. warrantee voided though as it'll never go back together properly again, use a old credit card to open it up.
WD Green inside the 4TB btw

Just not a fan of such a huge single drive, heat added though for the price
Previous models all have removable drives don't see this being any different
