HDD Caddy

Longford Leader

Need some help please,

I have a western digital caviar blue 320gb internal hard drive (removed from damaged desktop)

The interface is a PATA connection (ribbon).

I need to get data off this hard drive.

Can I get a external case for this drive and connect to a laptop via usb cable.

Can someone point me where to get one online, all seem to only be SATA connections.

Not cheap but will do the job.

I got an IDE to Sata converter on adverts from this guy. They had a load of excess stock from Sandberg that they wanted to get rid of. You could try him to see if they have anymore

Thats the ad. It has been withdrawn but stuff could still be available

If you do order from dabs... €10 cheaper than the above + eSATA. I have one of these and it works well.
