    I have a tanked netbook* that I haven't bothered to get around to fixing, and now [of course, lol] I need some data off of it.

    I was thinking last night that the easiest way to do this is just to pull the hdd and put it in an enclosure.

    A friend of mine in our IT Dept pulled the hdd from my first laptop and stuck it in one for me but, alas, he is no longer around.

    So, I was wondering what, specifically, I'd need to do this for my [much smaller] netbook?

    Anything special, or just a routine enclosure like one of these?**

    Here are the general specs for my hard drive:

    So I guess I would just need an enclosure for a 2.5" SATA drive? Or is there anything more to it than that?
