Ok so I have an old laptop that I need to get data off the hard drive. The hard drive is a Samsung Spinpoint M5 HM160HC - Hard drive - 160 GB - internal - 2.5" - ATA-100 - 5400 rpm.
If I was to purchase this (Amazon.com: Adaptec 2.5 inch USB 2.0 Hard Drive Enclosure Kit converts 2.5 inch internal ATA hard d ( 2188700 ): Electronics) would I now be able to use this as a portable external hard drive in which i was able to get the data from? I was figuring it would be a great way to use an old hard drive that has 160GB of storage space available.
If that enclosure won't work, what else can I do to use this old hard drive that is still good as an external hard drive?
Thanks in advance for any info!
