Recovering data from an SSD removed from a mid 2010 macbook

[gregorye70]

Hey guys,
I removed the internal HD from my Mid 2010 Macbook and want to get the data off of it. I was unable to start the computer, it had been sitting uncharged for a couple of years, next step is to recycle it. The HD is a WD Blue 3D NAND SSD. Model: WDS250G2B0A, I'm assuming I need a USB enclosure that this particular HD will mount to. I don't really have a need to get a docking station since this is a situation I rarely find myself in.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Just get this type of cable, depending on whether you need USB-A or USB-C:

FEMORO SATA to USB 3.0 Adapter, SATA III 5Gbps Data Transfer Converter Cable, UASP Support for 2.5 Inch SSD Solid State Drives

SATA to USB 3.0 Adapter

Thank you! I ordered the cable for USB C. Hopefully I won't run into an issue with my 2020 Macbook Pro trying to read the hard drive from the older computer.
