Does the disk have a proper S-ATA connection internally or is the USB controller permanently soldered?

So according to a Youtube video, these are soldered USB ports, the disks are not SATA and you can't "cannibalise" them. I therefore recommend the Seagate Portable Backup Plus solutions. You can rip open the case and inside is a nice Seagate Barracuda 2.5 inch hard drive with a real SATA connection. Don't throw away the USB 3 to SATA board, because you can use it for a quick connection of any other 2.5 inch SATA drive.
