To remove the case can sometimes be destructive. If there are no screws visible then the likely way it has been assembled is via clips which will be around the inside of the case. You will need the aid of a very thin paint scraper or plastic wedge to ease the case off. It may even be stuck with double sided tape to stop it moving so it is a case of treading very carefully. This you tube video will give you an idea. The drive itself will be a SATA, so any SATA adapter should support it.
