you can easily retrieve your data by removing the HDD and plug the hdd onto the SATA connection of your desktop computer..

but if you dont feel confident about removing the hard disk from the enclosure, professional help will be better.

it's prob a SATA2

[bychaw]

suggest u remove the hdd from the casing and connect directly to your desktop via sata to retrieve your files

[bychaw]

The HDD inside is a normal SATA 3.5" hard drive.

You can use it to do anything that the SATA 3.5" drive does.
