I would use a USB external drive to get data off an old laptop HD instead. The SSD is a SATA drive, so you would need some kind of SATA plug and a way to get power to the drive too. A USB would be much easier.

I'm not a techy guy so I had to call the support guy for the company you mentioned. He sounds like Cristopher Walken. Lol I love my solid state drive though and it really did make a huge difference in load times! Only a few seconds instead of minutes now!!!
