Accessing Serial ATA hard drives

[JHMorf]

Afternoon all,

 

I am trying to do a favour for a relative in accessing some hard-drives of defunct laptops for them. They hope I can recover some old Word documents.

 

There are three hard drives (photos attached) and I believe all are from laptops. Two appear to have the same type of connection, whereas one is slightly different.

 

I am inexperienced with computer hardware issues, and all I am looking to find out is which (if any) of the cheap "SATA to USB adapter" devices available on Amazon will fit all three of these drives so I can access them via my own laptop and look for documents.

 

I mean devices such as the following:

All 3 drives are just under 3 inches in width and just over 4 inches in length. I was about to purchase an item like the above, but as I tried to research it became unclear to me whether any one type would fit all 3 of these drive types.

 

There are of course many serial numbers on the drive surfaces; please let me know if quoting any of these will clarify the issue.

 

Thanks,

 

JHM

I use one that has a separate power and data connection

 

Here is another one that may work for you.
