I have kits for 2.5" and 3.5" hard drives that I have used in the past to slave hard drives and access data when the drives wouldn't boot up as master drives. I need to access some data (or try to) off a Samsung HS08XJC 1.8" hard drive out of a laptop. Can anyone suggest a good 1.8" drive enclosure or USB adapter for that size drive? Thanks.

I'd just go with that one. It's pretty cheap, and should do just fine for you.


I dont have any experience with the 1.8" enclosures, but I cant imagine there's too much parity in quality, especially for the short term.

^nice, thanks...yeah most of the laptop HDDs i've messed with are 2.5" but there are a few critical files I need to try and salvage off this 1.8" drive

^^do you have a 1.8" hard disk?
