[QUOTE="NewMacUser5, post: 1122454, member: 49642"] 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 ([URL='http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0009ZHF54/?tag=macforums0e4-20']Amazon.com: Adaptec 2.5 inch USB 2.0 Hard Drive Enclosure Kit converts 2.5 inch internal ATA hard d ( 2188700 ): Electronics[/url]) 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! [/QUOTE]
