Title: PC help re; HDD
Post by RobG on 05. Feb 2011 at 14:35

Got a SATA hard drive that I need to transfer info from to a replacement PC. Would this do the trick or do I need something else. TIA

On the assumption that the replacement PC has SATA can you not just plug the old drive into a spare socket on the motherboard?
