Any suggestions on how to get the case open to put a drive in? I can't figure it out.

If you look closely you can see where the case separates on the top. It is a line about 1/5 the way back from the end with the usb 3.0 end of the case. The piece that is the longest from where the case splits is where you want to push down with your left thumb and slide the case to the back (or right) using your left thumb. Pushing down with your thumb will allow the catch to drop down and release.

will this work with windows 10 ?

Yes. There should be no issues as the unit is basically a HDD cradle. Any drivers needed Windows 10 will pick up automatically. It's quite a nice case considering the price.

When trying to copy a file, the rate of transfer is extremely slow and usually lock up. I am using a ASUS MB Sabertooth 990FX with 32GB RAM with Windows 7 Pro. How can I fix the problem?

This could possibly be a driver issue. It is backward compatible to the slower USB 2 & 1 but that could be messing with the transfer. I have used it with USB 2 and it does take awhile for a large amount of data. I have had some issues with large USB sticks but not the external drive.

is this compatible with xbox one?

Yes.That is what I am using it for the xbox one and ps4.
