Getting data off a old hard drive

[Rogue Hawk]

I found a hard drive I took out of a machine back five years ago. I thought to plug it into my existing machine but the connector is different. It is longer than the newer cable connection. I don't remember what this connect is called. I wonder if there is an adapter so I can plug it into my mother board or get an external encloser and hook it up with usb.

This or something like it should work.

Agree

I have several of these. They work great! On Ebay starting at about $10.

It would be nice to get a docking station so I can drop any HD in and use USB for it. (It looks like a toaster)I looked at the HD and it appears to be this connector type.

Well, from here, that appears to be a 22 pin SATA connector. But you're a lot closer.

Myself, on the advice of our IT guy, I purchased a Dock.

Forget where I bought it, but was local and not too expensive. Accepts various configurations and connects via USB.

I used it for the main recovery I got it for, but have since used it many times on other drives.

Handy to have if a drive needs a multi pass wipe.

More info? Model, part number, name? I've got a stack of drives from computers over the years.

She will deny all responsibility and get away with it.




That is a good way to do a search.

What do you guys think of this one? Will this work with my connector type? It gets a good rating on Amazon.
