    what is the model #? it should be listed underneath the name of the manufactorer, which looks to be Seagate. Best guess is 2.5" IDE (PATA) hard drive. You can start by looking here at newegg

    The black connector with flat pins (this) is removable(use a flat head to slowly pry it-make sure not to bend the pins). After than any 2.5 in IDE hdd enclosure should work.
