Hello ic1male,
you may have already bought one of the suggested adapters above but just in case you haven't or for anyone else with a spare 2.5" SATA HDD which they either want to access data from or utilize then I would recommend a 2.5" USB3.0 caddy.
In addition to offering all the functions of the adapters mentioned in the posts above you also get the option of having a neat portable storage option. Even though I have scaled back my I.T technician duties I still find a cheap no name 2.5" USB3.0 caddy running a 500GB WD black SATA II drive very handy when fixing peoples laptops for both transferring user data to a safe place and also a destination directory for huge Acronis .tib files when backing up fresh installations of windows on said laptop. . .
