I have a seagate ST9100823A 100gb serial ata laptop hard drive. Will this unit allow me to access this hard drive and retrieve the files I need?

I bought this item for two totally different hard drives and used a youtube video to show me how access one drive and it worked great on both drives.

I am not familiar with ATA. I checked the box and it doesn't show anything about ATA. I would contact Vantec. If it does connect, you will have no problems retrieving your files.

It looks like that model of your computer has a SATA hard drive, so yes it will work. I used this video to use the adapter to recover my files: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkJAE6dVigM Good luck!

If your old hard drive is the 2.5 inch laptop size hard drive and have a SATA 1, SATA 2, or SATA 3 connector, then it should work.If your old hard drive is from a desktop, (3.5 inch ), it is too big for this enclosure.SATA connectors have a combination 7 pins for data separated by a spacer for 15 pins for power. Wikipedia have a nice pic of the SATA connector that this enclosure will support. Hope that helps you.

I don't know. I am unsure if the adapter I had works properly. Your system sees something, but if you reformat, you will lose the info on the drive.

I believe your hard drive is 2.5 inch. Check the specification of the cable wether it is a ZIF type or PATA/etc.

As long as you have a laptop made within the last 5 years and it is a SATA drive tbere should be no issue. The mounting cage on the hard drive comes off the old one because all drives have standard mounting screw holes. Good Luck some laptops are a pain to get to the hard drive.

I do not have an answer to your problem, but with both seagate and WD drives I just attached the drive enclosure and the hard drives were recognized.

hi, i don't know if you can use it with yours but it was so inexpensive its worth the risk. it was easy to put the hard drive in, if you have a sata hard drive i dont know why it would not work. even so you could get a used laptop hard drive pretty cheap and still make use of it.,

I presume you're having a problem with the connector of the mentioned GoFlex hard drive and not the actualy hard drive itself. If that is the case, then yes, this should take care of the same. Taking the HDD out of the seagate case might take some work, but putting it inside this one's a breeze!

Corinne, I use this portable hard for my laptop, uses a USB cable and the program Seagate provides works fine and is user friendly. I hope I helped>

Yes it will, I use 500gig and 1 TB hard drives on my laptops. If your system is already loaded you can image the drive.

Yep. My Seagate Desktop 4TB HDD had no problem connecting, so you should have no trouble.

Sorr y my first answer was not complete. You can down load software for wd and seagate drives that will recognize and format them.

Well once it is complete you can navigate to the seagate drive through finder and try to open the files to verify they are there. How it is done? I still have not gotten it to work, but seagate sent me some info because I have had trouble. Check seagate's website.

Yes, but you need to buy a Goflex Home Doc or a special cable from Segate ($20) (Model # STAE104). Try this page - http://www.seagate.com/external-hard-drives/accessories/

Yes. Just make sure the old drive is SATA. Remember to format it to windows file system NTSF if using windows.

I think most modern laptops in the last 5 plus years will work with this hard drive. My bet is it will. The issue to consider is how will you use the hard drive? Will you image your old drive or install a fresh build?
