Hardware Help with making an internal hard drive external

EmulateLife · Dec 14, 2018

I'm trying to turn an internal hdd to an external one. I bought an enclosure on ebay but it didn't come with anything else but an enclosure box. I'm trying to figure out what it's called that allows you to hook the hdd up to usb device it's the end piece that connects with it so I can buy it.

This is the pic from the listing. But there's no way to plug in the usb. I just need to know what the name of that part is.

That's a micro or mini USB connector.
If you can post a pic of the slot on the enclosure I'll tell you what you need.

Based off of the same item on amazon - https://smile.amazon.com/Maiwo-K104-inch-Drive-Enclosure/dp/B07CGC3CBP?sa-no-redirect=1

The USB cable looks hardwired into the plastic dongle. Dongle attaches to the SATA connectors on the HDD, and the USB cable obviously plugs into a USB port of the computer. Post pics of what you actually received? I'm a little lost on what you're having difficulty plugging in.

They didnt send whats in that pic. Its just plastic. They tricked me by listing it as case only. Chinese seller. I only paid 2 dollars but this is useless.

I need whats in the 2nd pic but i already am using this one for another hdd.
