    Looking For A Particular Hard Drive To USB Adapter


    Attached is a picture of an hard drive I took out of my old Windows XP laptop. It's only 60 GB but still good for backup purposes. I already have some adapters for connecting both IDE and SATA drives to my computer through USB. I don't have any that can handle this particular drive. Can anyone suggest a USB adapter that can handle this type of hard drive?

    I think you will find that what is protruding is an adaptor.
    You can take it out and you will see that it is standard SATA and power connector.

    Not a good pic sorry.

    Hi
    I'd imagine anything from x-p would be IDE but yea it might be a removable adapter on it ?
    This one has IDE compatibility

    Thanks for your replies. It was an plug-in that I could remove. Now I can access the drive. I tried this before but I was afraid I was going to break it. I decided it was no big lost if I did break it. Turns out it was just an adapter. But it's IDE underneath not SATA . Thanks again.
