Freecom - Data Recovery - Help Appreciated

Accidentally put 9V down a 5V 160GB Freecom Mobile Drive. Burning smell was the give away. LED still illuminates but drive is not spinning up anymore and no response when USB is connected. Most of the drive contents is backed up elsewhere but a few things I'd like off it. Any suggestions to recover the data? Cheers

You could remove the drive from the enclosure and connect it either via a SATA to USB cable, drive enclosure, or drive dock. Is this a Thunderbolt drive?

Thanks for the reply. No, this thing is rather old but served me well. I've opened her up, terrible smell of burnt electronics. Inside is a Samsung HM160JI SATA HDD. I'll have a look into a SATA to USB cable

[strike]I am going to close this as it is a duplicate post. I see you have the same question in the Mac OS X forum.[/strike]

Just connected an esata cable to the drive. Powered up the laptop and nothing. I wonder if there's anything else I can try?
