Quoted from my post on this thread (follow the link on teh third post)

I just wanted to let everyone know out there how to break apart a Platinum Edition, as the instructions on the 1st post are for the essentials only ->

The Platinum is actually easier to open -> there are no screws to hold the HDD sled within the case -> only two plastic tabs. If you are looking at the drive from the top, with the button facing your stomache, you will see 3 long lines along the first row from the front. Two of those long lines on the right will be covered. You will want to push in on those using some sort of knife or something. On the bottom there are only two holes. You want to push in on that too. It is very hard to do all of that, but WHILE you are pushing on those four points you should be able to remove it. For me its too late as I just got lazy and used a putty knife and started JAMMING it in between cracks between the plastic backing and the metal shell and just popped it open. LOL!

If anyone wants pics just let me know.
