Help me identify and find an enclosure for this hard drive

[shryock]

---

My friend bought a second hand WD hard drive from the other online store.
His goal is to repurpose it as an external hard drive.
Nangita siya enclosure, nakakita siya sa CDRK, pero ang interface dili mao.

It looks like this:






Ako duda, gikan ni sa external hard drive, pero since kato pa ning 2010 naexpire according sa warranty check, kato ning naay power supply pa siguro.

Where can we find a compatible enclosure for this?
Or maybe any DIY method to still make use of this drive?

naa ko'y WD 2TB Mybook Essential with power supply bought last year sa HK,
ako tang ablihan to check if parehas ba ug interface ana,
dili man ko kahibalo mo-open kay murag wala ma'y screws and such. ):

Check this WD10TMVV : Conventional hard drives bro. Murag micro usb man kuno na nga connector (page 2) but theres an issue with the usb bridge or something. Sorry, gitapulan na kog basa. Taas man kaayo ilang discussion.

hehe ako ng naab-lihan
pero murag wala ma'y seal then e-slide raman diay ang plastic after nimo e-wedge gamay ang cover.

dili man parehas ug interface , WD Green man diay sulod ani
can't get better view of the interface w/o removing the plastic frame (nga murag gahi tangtangon)

tried that actually. musiga ang LED, motuyok ang disc, pero undetected sa PC.
di pud makita as unknown device sa Device Manager. so i think, eliminated na ang driver problem.

i want to try UVCView utility pero wala na source.
that utility is for detection.

Soryy to hear that. I think your friend has been conned

[shryock]

yes. kalusot na ang pic kung sa tinypic ang source. hehe
