For the uninformed, what does it mean here to 'shuck' the drives? Just deal hunting or are people doing something with them after buying them like returning/RMAing etc?


Shucking means removing the HDDs from the enclosure to use them on PCs or servers. Un-shockable enclosures might have HDDs with proprietary electrical connection which makes standalone usage impossible.


Remove the drive from the external casing and be able to use the drive in ones machine.
