I've had two older mains powered external hard drives and one newer portable external hard drive die on me. I bought a kit off Ebay that lets me read them after I remove the hard drives from their covers and attach them to the connectors (IDE and SATA) and retrieve the data via a USB port.
The kit is thus very handy for reading faulty external drives where the electronics have stuffed up and the drive is okay, and for reading internal drives when the computer's motherboard has died and one wants to retrieve that data and put it on a new computer.
Regards,
Renato
