Can I connect my Laptop 2.5 SATA drive with my PC ?

[psychogamer]

Salam friends, my laptop broke long ago but its hdd is fine, i have used it via usb enclosure to connect it with other machines, but for now one of my friends have borrowed the enclosure and i desperetly need to retrive some data from my lapptop hdd, the only possible way it seems is that i connect it directly with my pc using cables from mobo and psu as both of drives connect in the same manner. the only thing which bothers me is sata power cable from my psu which is suppose to power bigger desktop pc drives i fear my laptop hdd might possibly get fried because of over power the idea came from that my mobo or psu might detect its a low power consuming device and do not push power on the laptop drive. So dear friends i need your help regarding this issue. desperatly need your help. thanks.

thank you so much for reply bro but one of my friends have borrowed my usb converter for it furthurmore it bottlenecks data transfer rate to usb transfer limit, and last but least i xand find it in nearby shops. so will it be safe to connect directly?

via laptop hard drive caddy you can also connect it directly to your mobo...
here the link of that caddy
Amazon.com: SANOXY SATA 2nd HDD caddy for 12.7mm Universal CD/DVD-ROM: Computers & Accessories

my brother often used this type of caddy to connect it directly....

Yes you can connect your laptop hdd directly with your PC no need to make it an external drive via USB enclosure. But the drive won't fit in your case if you don't have a 2.5" bay in your case to mount the hdd though you can just put it in the normal hdd Bay without screws/clips.
