Remove hard disc from barracuda 7200 10

[pipistrelle]

Hello,I have an External Drive packard Bell store & save 350.the actual drive is a Seagate 7200.10 I used it primarily as my backup. Yes you guessed it, one morning when switched on along with my PC it failed to work (Drive did not show on pc). Aftr checking USB & Power cables.
! can the Hard Disc be removed and placed into a donor drive. This may be a lot cheaper than data recovery. I would have most of the data already on my pc but there are a few old file i could do with.
