Hard drive Link up
I have a few year old sony laptop in which the motherboard failed, is there any way i can link up the hard drive to my new Toshiba laptop?
Cheers. |
Yup, get yourself on of these:
Amazon.co.uk: TeckNet VS408 USB 2.0 to IDE/SATA Cable for 2.5-Inch/ 3.5-Inch / 5.25-Inch Drive With Power Adapter: Electronics & Photo Can be had cheaper, that was just the first link, if you have a computer fair nearby, you'll get one for 5-6 quid (probbly). I've had a couple of variants. |
Definatley the easiest way - just make sure you get the right connection type - IDE or SATA.
I've found these to be excellent though - Computer hardware and software at amazing prices, available online from Scan Computers UK I use mine daily and it takes some hammer. Also, I find some computers don't supply enough power over USB for ext hard drives. |
That one in my post has 2.5 ide, 3.5 ide and sata as well as power for both!
Must have tool for any tinkerer :D |

Must have tool for any tinkerer :D However, I have one of thise two and it's also very handy! It's good for getting data off a variety of drives although a case makes a good backup drive |
Cheers for the replies, on the link page a 3.5" HDD HARD DRIVE ENCLOSURE is listed as a perfect partner, would this be suitable to house my drive?

A laptop drive is 2.5"
