SATA Laptop Hard drive

[DasFox]

I have a SATA drive I'm working on for someone, and I was hoping that it was the same type of SATA connections that a desktop uses.

Does anyone know a good and inexpensive sata laptop hard drive adaptor, so I can plug it into my desktop and backup the data on it?

Seagate is telling me this is a SATA 2.5 drive.

ALOHA

I dont own this one, but have heard good things about it --

can't you simply plug the desktop SATA connectors into the laptop hard drive?

I think 2.5" SATA hard drives use the same connector as 3.5" SATA hard drives...

This is what you need

No they don't work, I even contacted seagate tech support and they didn't know, LOL.

Read what the box says ---> 2.5" IDE 🙁

This won't work either...

It will connect any size and form drive, via USB, to your machine.
