Random question: does anyone know what the enclosure/case is made of for a regular spinning rust hard drive? Most searches about materials bring up a lot of information about the platters, but very little about the material it's enclosed in.

It feels like aluminum based on weight and hardness; up until I took this one apart (it was dead) I guess I just assumed it was plastic, despite having taken many apart before, but it's definitely a metal.
