I'm trying to help someone get some data off their laptop hard drive. The laptop isn't working anymore. It's a 2.5" SATA Hitachi.

I have a 3.5" SATA USB enclosure I've been using for my 2tb Seagate.

Will there be an issue with the power supply voltages vs the 3.5" and 2.5"? Pics attached:

Sending from phone, sorry if the pics are big, can't resize...
 
The device will only draw the amount of power that is needed.
 
Fortunately since SATA it's no problem at all.

Well it never was a problem previously buy you needed silly adaptors.
