Hi everyone,

I'm reaching out to this amazing community for some assistance with a tricky situation. I’m trying to help a client retrieve data from a Samsung 1.8-inch hard drive, Model: HS061HA. This particular drive uses a ribbon connector, which I’ve included photos of for reference (will attach).

From my research, I understand this type of drive was commonly found in older laptops and portable devices. However, finding a compatible adapter to interface it with modern systems (e.g., USB or SATA) has proven to be quite challenging. I’m hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction.

Here are the details:

  • Drive Type: Samsung 1.8-inch HDD
  • Model: HS061HA
  • Connector: Ribbon-style connector

What I need is an adapter or interface that would allow me to connect this drive to a more modern system (ideally via USB) so I can access the data. If anyone has experience with this type of drive or knows where I might source a suitable adapter, I’d be incredibly grateful for your help!

Thank you all in advance for taking the time to read this and share your insights. This community has been a lifesaver for me in the past, and I’m hoping you can work your magic once again! 😊

Cheers,

Parker
