Just take taken the HD out of a defunct Pc and need to read it. I suspect I need some sort of caddy as i used for my old laptop HD. This one is a SATA type. Can you point me in the direction of something that will allow me to read the HD on another pc. USB I suppose. The last cost a tenner.

Yep. There's several on Amazon from under a tenner. I've got one at work.

Easiest way would be to stick it in a PC as a second drive, if you've got one kicking about. Just need a SATA cable then.

Due to Thailand flooding, apparently.
