This is a standard drive in an external enclosure. They're not opening the drive itself, just the shell around it.

l have to add that I'm ancient and most extemal hard disks I have lying around still have actual 2.5" or even 3.5" devices with standard connectors in there. Have opened at least two of those to exchange drives. So my perspective is slightly twisted... ;-)

I have this exact hard drive, it only cost about $30. If I cared about the light, I would be at least willing to attempt to mechanically disable it. Judging by OP asking, I'm assuming they are too.
