Hitachi 1.8mm question

Rob_J · 30 Nov 2010 at 10:27

Hey all,

does anyone know if I can connect this drive -> Hitachi 1.8mm 30GB 2.5in. 4200rpm HTC426030G5CE00 which came out of a Creative Zen MP3 player to a PC so I can get the data off it?

My daughter had a Zen for 4 years and it finally died on her, but she has some data on the drive that she needs for Uni so I was wondering if there are any cables I could buy that would help me connect it to a PC SATA or IDE connector.

You can get 2.5" disk enclosures from OCUK to adapt to USB.

Thanks, I've had a look at those but I'm not sure they would work as the HD in question has a ZIF connector, its also an ATA-100 ULTRA TRA.

You can get Zif to 2.5" adapters.
