Does this work? Thanks!
In general, this works. I've had it fail one time with a laptop, but I
concluded that this was because the laptop had a RAID hardware layer it
was applying to the internal drive, and the USB cradle I'd hooked the
new drive into wasn't doing the same thing.
The workaround would have been to put both drives in external USB
cradles, but I didn't happen to have two cradles at the time to confirm
that this did actually work.
I keep an adapter like this in my gadget box for the times I need to
hook an extra drive somewhere temporarily:
