Adapter cable to connect a SATA HD?

Adapter cable to connect a SATA HD? Wondering if there is an adapter cable that can be hooked into firewire or USB to power-up and read an external SATA drive (one removed from another failed PowerBook or MacBook for data recovery)

You need a hard drive enclosure, you cant just connect it straight to the firewire port as there is complex circuitry involved. You can find one here

"Thanks everyone, I think the question is answered.

Merry Christmas to all... I'll see if there is still time for Santa to dredge up an adapter cable for me.

Ok... Thanks for the info. However, are you sure this will work for a HD from a MacBook? The HD is a Seagate Momentus 5400.3 120GB. I bought a similar adapter, a Vantec, and the connectors did not fit the HD. Has anyone used the product on the link above for a Mac Laptop HD?
