That does appear to be just like the drive inside the element.
Makes sense to be the same design.  And it does appear the PiDrive is
USB3, even though the pi can't currently gain any benefit from that.
Interesting power/usb attachment cable they have made so the power brick
can power both the drive and the pi at the same time.
