WD-100EZAZ
5400 RPM
White Label Red (Blue and Green are not made in 10 TB)
Not working with SATA Power Cable (3,3V problem). Molex to SATA is OK (only 12V and 5V).

Supermicro backplane is OK.

It’s possible to extract drive with two / three credit cards and then you can put the drive back for RMA.

You're not saying you send the empty case back for RMA?
I think you're misinterpreting him, what I think he is referring to, is that if you open the enclosure carefully (without breaking tabs or whatever) you can put the drive back in the enclosure at a later day in a state where it can be RMA'd.

The assumption being that WD or the shop will not accept RMA's when there are clear signs that the enclosure has been opened.

RTM is right. Moreover, Amazon weighs all his goods, so something like that can't work.

put the drive back = insert Harddrive back to enclosure.

then you can = sometimes in Future, if the Harddrive fails.

Oh OK - that's fair enough. Just to note I've had a number of drives come from Amazon that are either empty or in one case someone has stuffed something in the enclosure to weigh the same. Not been a happy bunny!
