Help with disassembling a old HDD

[Djomla]

There is no screw on top of the disk.

Does anyone know a way to get it off without drilling or cutting it?

Don't need the disk or motor just the case of the hdd.

Motor is not removable... You do have to drill/cut it.

Interesting, I haven't seen that design before. What model/brand drive is that? You can try prying/rotating the thing on top of the spindle to see if it moves. I wouldn't recommend it, but some brute force with a common screwdriver and a hammer may make some progress lol

Yea no

Tried to un unscrew it with everything and anything.

Just drilled it and it just solid metal and there is no winding.

Tried drilling it here thinking of finishing it of tomorrow.

Should I keep going there or somewhere else?
