I have a WD 500GB External hard drive (
http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=351) that i cant connect to my laptop as the connection port inside it has broken off. I have stripped it to just the bare hard drive and now need to connect it, i took it to a repair shop and using a wire the man said he could get everything off of it for a fee of £15. Is there any way i can get the information off of it myself? A wire i can purchase or something?
A sticker on the hard drive reads (not sure if its any help):
"Master/Slave jumper not required for SATA"
"Jumpered pins 3 and 4 enable PUIS (Power Up In Standby)"
Please help, i have data that i really need on it as well as all the documents from my old laptop and PC.
Thank you in advance!
