If you don't have anything for this yet, how about...
Yes and no. The hard drive in the 750 series is in a plastic housing with
a modular plug, allowing it to be exchanged with another drive,
presumable so you could run multiple operating systems or the like.
However, the case is simply an injection molded plastic housing with an
adaptor to convert the standard 2.5" IDE drive 44 pins to the AMP D
connector on the outside. Inside the case it is just a 2.5" IDE drive,
though John Kim has speculated that the drive must be less than 17mm
thick to fit inside the case. The case is held together by snaps on the side
and two screws hidden under the //////// label indicating where to press
when inserting the drive.
And if you'd like a more detailed section on swapping the 2.5 drive in the
case, I'd be delighted to elaborate on the process of opening the case.
