2.5" IDE. Part# 960K29230
Hope This Helps
Yes, that helps. Much appreciated.
When I look that part number up, I see that the HDD connect to a 'controller/interposer' board with a 40-pin IDE connector. Is it possible to connect a IDE cable to the 40-pin and erase the HDD?
I have a customer who leased the unit so he wants me to erase and does not care about the OS. Looks like I can connect the 40-pin IDE bus cable of a PC to the 40-pin male IDE port on the 'controller/interposer' and erase. Is that correct?
Yes, from a picture of the part (960K29230), I don't see a way to get power to the HDD. So I will need to purchase a USB to SATA/IDE adapter kit.
Thanks
As far as I know, Yes you need to purchase the USB to SATA & IDE kit. Unless you want to "physically" destroy it....
Yes. The other alternative is to replace the HDD with an already erased HDD of the same physical size. I don't think the storage size would matter. Can you confirm that this is a notebook style HDD?
True you can replace it with an already wiped drive, however I have some customers that want a "certificate" of wipe.
I can 100% confirm it is a notebook drive!
