How to Connect an Old Hard Drive via USB Port

This is the one I use:

It's a 2.5" (SSD or laptop HDD) to usb 3.0. I got it at microcenter and it works very well. However, anything that will convert a 2.5" drive into usb (usually called a drive enclosure) will work.

EDIT: Your drive is not SATA. Looks like IDE. Try this page. These all have IDE connections.

Here is the difference between SATA and IDE

You will have to use more force than it seems to take the connectors out. Once you do, it should be no problem putting it into an IDE hard drive enclosure. Make sure it has the correct output you want (eSATA, USB, etc.).

Also, most hard drives have a power connection and a data connection (usually the smaller section of pins is the data). These enclosures will allow you to connect the data cable and the power cable, as shown above in your picture. The enclosure will also be able to power the hard drive through whatever cable you use to connect to your computer. If not, it will come with an AC adapter (at least from what I have seen)

Assign a drive letter to your external drive.

Hit + R type diskmgmt.msc and hit Enter

From there select your volume, right click it, and from the context menu Change Drive Letter and Paths.

Hit Change, Assign the following drive letter, select a drive letter and click OK.

Edit: As questioner added details, diskmgmt.msc had greyed out context menu, and couldn't change drive letters.

I later recommended to use Paragon HFS+ for Windows. Once installed, Paragon HFS+ for Windows provides a high-speed read and write access to Mac-formatted partitions just as if it is a native Windows driver.
