shucking
A slang term used in the Data Hoarder community to describe the act of buying an external hard drive for a discounted price and extracting the actual HDD inside for use in a desktop computer or a server.
Drives acquired in this manner are often significantly cheaper than if the HDD was bought as a standalone product off the shelf.

Example:
Dude, you won't believe this, I bought this external HDD yesterday, shucked it and the drive inside is like twice the price of this whole thing. I saved like a 100 dollars! Shucking is awesome!
