Recover Laptop Password On Another Computer

Great piece of hardware, enabled me to recover lost files from a dead laptop.

Love Touch ID feature rather than having to enter computer password for many functions.

A simple connector to an internal laptop hard drive that you can use externally, in case you want to recover it due to a crash or format for use on another machine. Works better when using USB3.

I bought this to recover some files after we dropped a laptop on the power connector and shorted out the motherboard. The drive from the dropped computer turned out to be ok and I was able to recover all my files thanks to this enclosure. Thank you Startech!

i bought this cable last year to recover some files from a laptop hdd. the cable works perfectly, with no issues whatsoever. i couldn't be happier with this product. i plan to use it for another 2.5" hdd that i'll be using as an external hdd.

Had to pull data from a dead laptop. Pulled the harddrive, plugged it in, and was able to recover all of the data easily. Smaller than older connectors i used in the past.

Needed it to recover data from 2 Mac laptop drives (a 2018 Mac AIr and 2019 Mac pro). It read both drives with no problem. Just remember that you will be able to see the files but you need to change the permission on each file before you actually can move or open the files. That is a Mac thing.

5 stars! Stable and very easy to adjust level with slider on.

I bought a pair of these to use as a password/credentials store, with one acting as a backup. This way I can keep my credentials for banking and so forth off my computer except when they are needed. Very happy with the ease of use. Nice product. Build quality seems to be fine.

....it appears so far. This is my second WD backup drive, and my first is still going strong and running flawlessly. I've tried ClickFree as a long-term storage solution, and it's been a bit of a nightmare. I bought this drive to replace it in fact, because I don't trust the aforementioned. This WD transfers files on & off itself quickly. It definitely is an External not a Removable, but it doesn't have the massive footprint (size) my old Verbatim External had. My one bone to pick: It is secure, yes. Kinda. When you install the software you can set it to always remain signed-in from your primary host-PC. Which makes sense, being that it's an External not a Removable! But I also use it with my laptop. I had to install the system-files on my laptop, then when I plug the drive into my laptop I need to manually run any one of the WD software applications so it prompts me for my password. Only after this can I see the drive when it's plugged-into my laptop. It would be nice if the drive was recognized but I was prompted for my password. I keep a copy of the system files off-disk, and I'm sure they're available free from WD's website.
