I have an old laptop with an eSATA HDD that I want to transfer data from.

Would one of these work?

Could I connect to a PC? if so what would I need?

Are you sure it's eSATA, that's external SATA?

That would work but you'll need power as well, better buying one that also powers it, it'll have a second longer connector.
