Which cables do I need to turn my dead laptop SATA HDD into an external HDD? - Rubberduckie 2015-03-11 15:34:31 (253 views)

  - Would not use that. USB power will add the variable "is the drive dead or does it draw too much?" - manualAvant 2015-03-12 11:51:51 (235 views)
    - that's what the 2nd connector is for - use with USB2 ports - Matt Devo 2015-03-12 12:08:26 (196 views)
      - The spec does, the port might not   -  manualAvant  2015-03-12 12:46:59 (169 views)
        
        I've yet to encounter any USB3 ports that don't provide enough power for a 2.5" drive  -  Matt Devo  2015-03-13 01:49:25 (181 views)
        
        Just been burned too many times by USB 2   -  manualAvant  2015-03-13 11:22:02 (189 views)
        
        <adds to amazon wish list>   -  Matt Devo  2015-03-13 18:05:46 (239 views)
  - Is that likely to work for any laptop HDD from the last 6 years or so? - Rubberduckie 2015-03-11 19:14:06 (186 views)
    - Anything ~6 years old should certainly be SATA, but that cable works ONLY with 2.5" drives - HDClown 2015-03-12 07:05:33 (190 views)
- yes - manualAvant 2015-03-11 15:53:54 (183 views)
