Hard drive switch?

[CakeBadger]

My hard drive has broken is there any way I can switch my files or data from that to another externally?

If you could explain more about the hdd it would help us help you. Hows it broken, physical damage, corruption, etc.

But to answer your question, most likely yes. Assuming the files are still intact, definitely.

Basically the sata connectors to the hard drive, the pins on that are broken.

Ouch, I really don't think that would be possible without replacing the entire PCB. (Or having someone good at soldering tiny pins)

As said in your other thread, a picture is worth 1000 words. Only one set of eyeballs has seen the extent of the damage. We can't really tell if it is fixable, but I'm leaning to 'probably not'.

You could take HDD out of the USB enclosure and plug it into a computer via SATA connection and see if that works. Or pop the HDD into a different USB enclosure
