External case for internal hard drive

MacBook Air 13" Mid 2009

Hi,

My MacBook Air just break down... I was said that it could the logic board...

I already bought a new MB Air, and the problem is how do I retrieve all my data from the old drive into the new...

No target mode, no ethernet, don't know how to do...

I thought using an external case compatible with le connector of the internal drive...

If anybody has an idea...

Thank you for your help...

Best regards

Franck

If your machine does not have an SATA connector:

A. You have misidentified your machine, go here and enter your serial number to find out what you have:

B. It is most likely a ZIF drive. This would work: http://www.amazon.com/1-8-Hard-Drive-Cas...

Hi Mayer !

Thank you so much for your answer !

I already checked my computer (MBA 13" mid 2009) so the most likely answer is B :))

I'll order the HD case and I hope everything will be fine !

Thank you again !

You system uses a SATA interface so all you need to get is an USB HD case to hold it.

Hi,

Thank you for your answer :)

I'm not sure about the SATA interface... I already opened my MBAir and the HD has what seems to be a special connector.

You may have a look to this link to see what I'm talking about... :

MacBook Air (Late 2008-Mid 2009) Hard Drive Cable

The connector is very small and rather flat.

It doesn't look like the common connectors.

Or maybe I don't look at the right USB HD cases...

If you have another idea...

Thank you again for your help :)
