[SOLVED] cable for hard drive for WD 1200jb

[Hal0122retired]

I need to find a usb case for this model. I need to recover data from this model. I know it is a very old model. Thank you for help in advance.

Probably looking for something like this: AGPTek SATA/PATA/IDE to USB 2.0 adapter

The only ide cases will be usb 2.0. If you're finding a usb 3.0 one, it will probably be buggy.

And that being said, there was only one decent ide case and it's long discontinued now:

But if your goal is data recovery, you don't want usb getting in the way anyways. You need a solid sata-ide converter like this one:

Luckily, it is still made and seems to be deeply discounted as retailers are moving out stock:

You could get the cheaper crap on ebay, amazon, etc, but they could scramble the drive if they're defective, which is a 20%+ chance that they would be.

I actually have the startech converters for over 10 years now and they are rock solid. I would recommend them if the information is important.
