Barracuda XT, Barracuda, Barracuda Green, DiamondMax and other desktop SATA and IDE drives

I've just opened up a faulty Lacie external hard drive and am now trying to recover the data from the two above drives which were enclosed. I purchased a dual HDD docking station but sadly the drives will not fit into the slots. Can anybody sugest which docking station I need to look out for in order to attempt a backup of these drives?

Drive info: 

MaxLine Plus II 250GB ATA /133 HDD / 3.5 Series / Code YAR41BW0

Thanks in advance,

You could simply slave them on the ide ribbon if you have one.

I think I've sorted th eproblem - I opened up another LaCie drive and connected the hard drives to the ribbons inside. However, they drives would not mount (the disk you inserted was not readable by this computer) so I'm now running Data Rescue II which has recognised the drives and I'll hopefully be able to make a back up. Fingers crossed folks...

If the drives are configured as a RAID, then you need to get the order right.

Just a thought ...
