Managed to salvage this from a TV box that was destined for landfill.

Connector 1

can the molex connector be pulled out. looks like a regular sata hard drive.

You could probably get some type of enclosure or something for it on Amazon or Ebay.

This would actually be quite good for it.

>>59001641
This cable is a SATA (Transfers data) the other one is the power connector. You can take those off, if you're gonna be placing it in a enclosure there is no need for them. Don't toss them away though, you could need them in the future.

>>59001617
How have you managed to stay alive for so long. You are humungously stupid.

if its from a BT box it might be encrypted. you can decrypt but it takes a couple of hours. if its from a sky box it will work straight away with no shenanigans

>>59001693
>it might be encrypted

It seems like he salvaged it so I doubt he cares about the data so he should be able to just wipe the drive and use it normally afterwards.

>>59001617
give it back, jamal

I wanted him to take a closer look at it since it tell him the information he needs. Also yeah Ilmy eyes are quite bad...

>>59001731
its firmware encrypted. it will only work on the box it came from unless you decrypt. windows mac or linux won't even detect it. theres a boot disk method but you have to run on every sector, so 1-2TB drive will take a while

you'll be fine then, just put it in a caddy and format it.
They are locked to 1.5GBp/s mode though, but this is not a problem over usb 2/3

>>59001899
Sheeeeeet. How do I decrypt it on Windows?

>>59001912
Just fucking plug it into your shitbox and try it

>>59001891

Nigger its a bog standard SATA drive. What information could you possibly need from the label?

>>59001805
I want to go back

>>59001808
LEL he would just go to reddit
and it would show up back here
on "Best of /g/" so he's doing us a huge favor

>>59001912
you don't need to with the sky ones, they just werk.

The BT method for those interested http://www.instructables.com/id/Unlock-hard-drive-from-an-old-BT-Vision-box/

great thread OP

I never even thought of doing this with Linux! That would be so much easier. I'm definitely going to try it when I get some time. Thanks for the info.

>>59001929
Well he didn't know what a SATA cable or molex so.. I think he needs all the help

To the ones that are being disrespectful when I asked a simple question, not everyone knows everything.

is that one of those placebo anti-static wrist bands?
LOL

Looks like a chink band actually.

>>59002126
Go fuck yourself. If you're too stupid, in two thousand and fucking seventeen, to google "how do i make an external HDD", you don't deserve an internet connection.

You want us to assemble it for you as well numbnuts?

You are in absolutely no position to be calling anyone dumb..

Obviously a troll... anyone who would rip this component out and immediately recognize it as a hard drive would know what molex or sata is.
