USB SATA adapter questions

I want to get some data off a 2.5" laptop drive. Laptop died. Bought a new laptop. Old laptop was Win7 and new one is Win8.

I bought this adapter:

USB 2 0 to SATA 7 15 Pin 22 Pin Adapter Cable for 2 5" inch HDD Hard Disk Drive | eBay

I hooked up the SATA end to the disk and the USB end to the laptop.

It has a usb connector and an ESATA connector. Do I have to have both of them hooked up to work or is it supposed to work with just the usb connector?

The windows disk management tool doesn't see the drive. ???

I think you need both because the drive gets power off the USB. I have a similar adapter but it supplies power via a plug in adapter rather than the USB connector.

If you don't have the other plug on your lap top then you've probably bought the wrong cable.

I'd have got a little 2.5" housing with all of the gubbins

Yup, I think I got the wrong part. It is misrepresented as a usb/sata connector. It is really a usb+esata/sata connector.

I guess I need to spend a half hour reading about a $5 part before I buy it. WTF

In the link

USB 2 0 to SATA 7 15 Pin 22 Pin Adapter Cable for 2 5" inch HDD Hard Disk Drive | eBay

The upper left ($2.80) one I think is the one you need. These all four-in-a-row are basically the same other than co$t.
None will work with 3 1/2" hdds, , , ,

-c-

The second usb conn is for more power, in case it is needed.
