Hello,
I need to put the HD from my son's deceased laptop into an external enclosure, so that I can recover the files. (Naturally he hadn't backed up recently..)
I bought a Nippon Labs EN-25USB enclosure from NewEgg (good price, seems well made).
My question is whether this is compatible with the HD, a Hitachi GST 80GN series drive, specifically model IC25N030ATMR04.
Data sheet for the drive is here:

My concern is the case has a separate 4-pin power connection, the drive has no separate power connection. The case & drive both have 44-pin connectors, which seem to mate fine. No jumpering is needed on the drive, it defaults to a master.
My main worry is damaging the drive, damaging the case would be annoying, but far less serious.
Thank you for any assistance!
