I currently use an old hard drive as an external, I bought a conversion
kit off ebay and all works fine.
I have now taken the hard drive from an unused virgin top box and
hoping to use that also as an external hard drive. Both are Seagate
3.5, Virgin one 500GB.
I am assuming I would connect it to my PC and reformat. However I am
not quite sure of the connections to make as they are slightly
different to my current external one, as per image.
Any help or advice would be good.

Hard drive dock ?


Is the right answer! At least as far as pressing that unused SATA disk
drive shown on the RHS of that image.


Ive got a hard drive dock with an ethernet interface
Its called a 'server'.
