Hi guys, a real noob here.
Dont know where to ask also. Hope this is the correct place.

I wanted to connect my laptop hdd to my pc.

Was wondering if i can just use a SATA to usb connector
Or maybe HDD enclosure is better?

Also, using the above methods, is the power from usb enough?
Need another power source?

WD black 2.5inch spec is 800mA, while USB3 provide min 900mA current, so SATA to USB3 is enough, just llike most of the protable HDD can be powered up by just single USB cable.
