Hdd disk tray

I just bought a 500gb hdd on eBay. And it came with this:

How do I remove that? It is blocking all the connectors like 4 pin molex etc.

If you need help removing a hard drive from a caddy, you really shouldn't be working on computers yourself. Get a computer guy to help you.

I can't read the part number of this Hitachi/IBM DeskStar, but it seems that it has SCSI or SCA interface, and you will need additional (expensive) controller to use it in an everyday PC.

Then - how much trust do you have in a hard drive manufactured twelve years ago?

Edit: On closer look, it reads "SATA 3.0", and part number HDS725050K
