In order to connect the hard drive adapter to another Mac computer you will need a SATA to USB cable.Ĭonnect the cable to the hard drive adapter and plug it into another working Mac computer. The hard drive is almost ready for data recovery. You have to make sure that the cable is plugged correctly and contacts on the cable are aligned with the contacts on the connector. Note that contacts on the cable are facing downwards. Make sure the cable is plugged all the way down into the connector.ĭo not bent the cable because it can be easily damaged. I had some trouble inserting the cable because it was too tight. Now connect the second end of the flat cable to the hard drive. Lock the connector by sliding the retainer to the shown direction. Note that contacts on the cable are facing upwards.
In order to access data on the hard drive I’ll be using a 24 Pin SATA LIF Macbook Air SSD HDD SATA Adapter.
