1.8" Toshiba female connection Hard Drive to 2.5" or 3.5"...

[_Deano]

...connection needed.

I have taken a small 1.8" hard drive out of a tiny Sony Vaio Laptop and the drive (a toshiba) has a female connection rather than the usual male connection found on a hard drive.
Does anyone know where i can pick up a converter that i can plug the 1.8" drive into so that i can retrive the data off it via a 2.5" or 3.5" drive connection?

I've seen one a few sites but there are all based in the US

thanks

I had a similar thing a couple of weeks ago.

Pulled a failing drive out of a laptop in order to backup the files to my desktop only to see a female connector that I couldn't use.

Turned out the female connector was an adaptor that was covering the standard male pins of a standard 2.5" drive.

that's intersting, will take another look tonight when i get back.
