I have a relatively big number of presumably mostly broken drives like that (I repaired only one so far :-( ) but is there a way to easily distinguish them from the outside? I might take some effort checking those out but due to the weight and the way those are currently stored - it may be difficult to take each of them on the bench and open.

So if there is a photo, which would show the different look from the front side - it would help.
