Hello, I have this same drive. My hard drive is fine, the internal case that has the SATA to USB C connector isn’t working. Is there a replacement for the adapter/inner case & the adapter?

James Causey - Reply

I have no idea of replacement of the LaCie internal case

But any generic USB C To SATA Adapter can be used - and very cheap on amazon too

Like in this link for example
