The description says hdd, probably proprietary 3 inch drives. Still, the basic mechanics of drives is the same across design. If you've got dozens, tens of dozens you'd make considerably more scrapping them. When you reach hundreds is where the time curve cuts into profits quickly.
Once you match the screws to bits for an electric driver they all come apart quite easily Use a driver not a drill. And set the torque setting to 2. Most drivers do their number settings in 10 lb increments. You'll rarely need more than 20 flb. Once you get the first one apart doing the rest is easy. I line them up 6 at a time on the bench and do them like this
In my order Bottoms, pulling boards Tops Pop tops now Magnet tops Drive arms (can be Sharp so always my first internal removal) Magnet bottoms Connectors (gold pins) may pop in, may pop out. Find your directions D pop them with a number 2 standard screw driver and a good wack to the edge Platters, hardest part as they want to spin. Again why I remove the arms first. Pop the motors. They may be screwed in, and may be glued. If glued use a punch from the bottom and a hammer. One good wack and it's free.
6 drives at a time takes me about a minute and a half start to finish. Once you find the best method and right tools you'll plow through them quickly.
