    Hello's.

    My laptop is pretty much broken problem is in this thread. But this question is aside of that.

    Is it possible to retrieve the data from the harddrives? With using a PC? (I am not knowledgeable of laptop hardware etc. So I have to ask this to the more experienced users.

    Thank you,
    Snorfiets

    Alright thanks. So it's not any different (apart from physical size) to a normal HDD? I read this one is SATA, so if I have a pc with SATA cables I can connect them too?

    Yes, if you have a desktop with SATA cables, then you can connect the laptop HDD to it. Its small, but the connectors still fit.
