Internal Hard Drive Casing

[Organboi]

Hello everyone. My PC of 10 years has finally failed me, so bought myself a laptop. Unfortunately, all my work documents, music and pictures are still on my old PC's internal hard drive. I believe I can get an external casing to let it work and transfer all my stuff to my laptop. However I don't know which one to get, where to get it and which will work. I have attached some pics for reference. Hopefully someone can steer me in the right direction...thanks.

Now would also be a good time to start making backups, it could just as easily have been the HDD that failed.

Get a USB3.0 3.5" hard drive enclosure with power supply. You don't give your location but you can try any local pc shop like matrix, incredible connection etc if you want it today/tomorrow else you can order online.

I'd also suggest spending a bit more and getting a reputable/known brand, this year we've had a few HDDs come in that have failed from being put into cheap external enclosure that have bad quality and sometimes faulty power supplies.

Alternatively just get a HDD dock?

Many of the cheap one's don't even fasten the HDD.... it flops around inside.
