I'm looking to get information off of a laptop hard drive. Is there a<br>
hackerspace around here that has something like a USB enclosure for<br>
laptop-size drives?<br>
<br>
I'm a bit sour on blindly buying commercial solutions since I once bought an<br>
external USB drive to get info off of a desktop SATA drive and it turned out<br>
that the USB enclosure was somehow keyed to the drive it came with and refused<br>
to read a different drive. If someone knows of a product that works, I'll take<br>
recommendations.<br>

Most external drives (especially enclosed ones) will keep a key on the disk<br>
itself that's checked against the enclosure's firmware, and only work once<br>
validated. If that's not the case, the one Derek linked should work just<br>
fine.<br>
