Yeah they have a small paper sticker on them. If you heat it up with a hairdryer it should come straight off with a sharp blade but take your time and go easy.

I thought as much, im just a bit wary of blasting hot air all over the drive. i dont want to melt anything.

You wont melt anything, the drives case is metal and quite large, I would be amazed if you could even heat the drive up enough with a hair dryer that anything inside is warm.
To take off this sticker, its pretty easy, just 10 seconds of heat with a hairdryer should do.
Keep in mind when your drive is in your xbox is gets quite hot there is a heat sink under it.
