Hitachi Deskstar file transfer

Ittech27 · Dec 21, 2016

I have a Hitachi Deskstar 3.5 inch ssd model HDT725032VLA380 and I need to get the files off of it asap. I've tried for several months to get the files off using a couple different cables, but none of them will work because it is a 3.5" hard drive with a 2.5" input that requires the voltages for a 3.5" hard drive. Does anyone know how to fix this without having to dissasemble an my laptop? Thanks

Hey there, Ittech27.

If you don't have the option to connect the HDD internally via a standard SATA connection, you'll need to connect externally via an external enclosure/dock station/SATA to USB adapter. However all of those need to be externally powered, as the USB ports cant provide enough power for a 3.5" drive.

Hope that helps.

Can you give me an example of one I could get that would be relatively inexpensive (less than $15) if possible? I've tries a couple enclosures and none of them seem to fit

Unfortunately as an official WD representative I can't really recommend any specific products/devices which are not under the Western Digital brand. Sorry about that. Hopefully someone from the community will see the post an offer a few options for you.

Basically what you're looking for is either an external enclosure for 3.5" drives (it should have a cable for the all since it's for 3.5" HDDs), or a SATA to USB adapter, again one which can be externally powered.

Best results I've had was with using a drive bay dock like https://www.amazon.com/Kingwin-EZ-Dock-2-5-Inch-3-5-Inch-EZD-2535U3/dp/B00JKM0KUE or https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-External-Docking-Station-DS-UBLK/dp/B00IKAQ538
