Amazon has the WD 18TB Elements drive for $299US - Can it be shucked?

I know WD has been clamping down on shucking capabilities lately, by requiring the drives to use their proprietary USB interface - more so on the MyBooks, but I don't know bout the Elements series.

Is this worth getting to shuck? And what model drive is usually inside?

Thanks!

This doesn't answer your question, but check out the 18TB drives that can be had refurbished from Serverpartdeals.com. You can save a lot of money and buy extra drives for more capacity or on-hand replacements considering the savings.
- They have 18TB Exos for $165 USD right now.
  
  I was just seeing that too. I'm gonna have to get some.
  
  wtf that’s the price of 8TB in Germany
