Momentus 5400.2 hard drive enclosure problem

Options

Hello, recently i bought a hard drive enclosure thinking i could connect my Momentus 5400.2 model number: st9120621as

into it. When i opened it up and tried to fit the hard drive into the interface it wont fit... the pins on the HD are too big and the interface is very small. Heres the link to the enclosure i bought http://www.walmart.com/ip/FileMate-2.5-SATA-to-USB-3.0-Hard-Drive-Enclosure-Dark-Gray/15074307 If someone could please guide me and tell me which hard drive enclosure i could buy for this because this one obviously doesnt fit. Thanks!

If your drive was removed from a laptop, then I suspect it may have an interface converter that adapts the drive's standard SATA connectors to your motherboard's connector.

If so, then just pull on the converter and it should detach from the drive.

Here is an example:
