Are you able to disassemble the server for storage?

yes it just comes apart and you can put it back in the box. I put mine together and if I can do it anyone can do it.

It seems reasonable to do so since one has to assemble it but I am leaving it in one piece to store it. Although the server came with an extra washer, taking it apart may not be worth the effort.

Yes. Clear off the WD software, and use Mac Time Machine, if you're using it for backup. Or partition it using any format you like and use it as a storage device.

Close. Disassembling an iMac had drive prior to resale of the rest of the computer. Besides, I wanted to see the platter.

No. Probably not. Its not that heavy or large. Not too complicated to disassemble either

Well, I do not know as it seems pretty neatly closed, but there is always the alternative to use an external and/or network accessible drives. That's what I do over a Gigabit network. Good luck.

Yes, but it has to be disassembled first. The instructions illustrate the process.

You can do that but the drive rebuilding process takes a long time and this unit isn't hot-swappalbe so you would have to shut down and open the case. You can attach external drives and back up files to them.

I have not tried as it would mean to disassemble. Might be possible but is not meant to be removed by design. I guess security would find the whole thing risky even withouth the nice. There are quit a few sharp tools on this beauty.

I think you could disassemble easily enough, but I might be concerned with sturdiness after re-assembling. The screws might not "bite" like they do after initial construction. Though the screws are mainly for the outside shell, so it might be fine

It does not come fully assembled but it is easy to put together. Yes you could disassemble it for storage when not in use. It just takes an L shaped hex wrench.

After assembling it from its box myself, I just keep using. It's working well.Sorry that I've never disassembled the unit.The answer by "R. Lavender" before this seems very practical--to separate the parts back as when they arrived in the box.

I haven't taken them apart, but assembly couldn't be any easier. I can't imagine disassembling it would be too hard either.

I don't know if you can disassemble without breaking it. It is hard plastic pieces that snap together pretty snug.

Yes you can disassemble it. It's the reverse process for putting it together, and it's easy to do

No, I don't think you can. It may be possible if you want to put a lot of time and effort into taking it apart and putting it back together. Doesn't look very fun though.

It is not easily disassembled. It can be done, but it's a pain. It's attached using special locking screws.

No because it is reconditioned. All info can be found on the net at San Disk.
