Do all Mechanical Hard Drive use Torx Screwdrivers?

Appleboy45

I want to buy me a broken hard drive because I always wanted to look what a hard drive looks like inside (I know there are videos, but I want to see it in real life). Do all mechanical hard drives use a torx screwdriver to remove the screw of the hard drive?

what "screw of the hard drive"

 

hard drives have many screws

 

some are torx and some arent

 

it depends on the drive

well yeah, they do that cause youre not supposed to take them apart

buy a set of torx screwdrivers if you want to open a hard drive

screwdrivers are not expensive

ok good, then why exactly are you asking this question?

if you have the screwdrivers necessary then it doesnt really matter if it uses torx or not, no?

No, this is a totally different reason.
