[QUOTE="mavrettt, post: 1902341, member: 410648"] Hi. Ive pulled a Harddrive (500GB, seagate barracuda 7200.12) from a dead '2010 IMAC' that had old photos on. Bought a SATA connection cable with 12volt power ([URL='https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07JGT17B8/']USB 3.0 to SATA Adapter for 2.5"/3.5" HDD/SSD, BENFEI USB 3.0 to SATA III Hard Drive Disk Adapter with 12V/2A Power Adapter[/URL]) from amazon. Tried plugging this into a 2015 macbook pro and nothing is appearing in disk utility. I can hear the drive spin up so power is running through to it. Does anyone have an idea of a way of accessing it? I thought perhaps the disk filing system is different on newer macs? or something along those lines? or is there some software that could see if theres anyway to see if i can get a connection. Any thought are appreciated. Paul [/QUOTE]
