Introduction
This guide shows how to install a 2.5-inch hard drive into the aluminum enclosure sold by iFixit. The enclosure can hold either a SSD or a standard 2.5-inch (platter) hard drive, as long as they have the proper SATA connectors.
If you have a silicone enclosure, follow this guide instead.

Now what do I do?
You will need to plug the enclosure into a computer to access it. From there, you can format the drive or retrieve data.
How do I plug the enclosure into a computer? Are there cables? Thank you.
