New here so, I hope this is OK to post.

I had a 3 TB WD My Book external HD fail. Smooth book like front. I'd like to swap it out. Does anyone know how to open this mystery case? Also, can I put in a bigger one, maybe a 5 TB? If so, this is for back up only. Which one should I get?

If case opening is not possible, I am open for suggestions for a USB C or A replacement external HD for a Mac mini M1. Probably not Seagate… bad luck with those. Thanks
