Many products are designed after lots of Research and development. But unfortunately many fails in the market. Cannon CS100 Connect station is such product.
Its a small computer with sufficient hardware intefaces and 1TB harddrive.
I got this brand new box for just Rs.1999/- (29USD). I baught it for teardown purpose. anyway the 1TB harddrive sitting inside will cost me Rs.3000 plus.
How to open
There are only 4 screws holding the bottom cover to the top.I used T10 bit of my screw driver
Once all the 4 screws are removed, pull the bottom cover from the front sides. Remember that there is a notch at the back which may break if we try to pull from the back side.
Inside view
Removed the harddirve carfully. As you can see in the photo, there are 4 screws at the top and 4 more bigger ones from the sides.
All are regular star screws.
Attaching the disk to computer
The Drive is provided with SATA interface. Attaching to home computer is very straight forward as plugging the power supply cable and SATA cable. attached it to my home desktop computer as shown below
Checking the harddrive
got into root shell of my linux pc and issued fdisk as shown below.my new drive is /dev/sdc
