The hard drive is ‘encased’ in a foil-looking, very flexible ‘enclosure’.

On the screw-side (near the label), each corner of the foil enclosure has a rubber black stuffed between the drive and the laptop - these blocks are connected to the enclosure via a rubber ‘string’. If you pull those nubs straight up, you can pull on them towards the label to disengage the drive from its SATA interface.
