    As per my other thread my laptop was beyond economical repair. They have sent back my hard drive.

    Its a 240GB Kingston SSD Now hard drive.

    How do I recover it? Is it as simple as getting a SATA enclosure and plugging it into a new computer?

    Providing the drive is sound, 2.5 Sata enclosure will do the job for you.

    And just plug it in like a normal hard drive?

    Indeed. You've just pretty created a DIY external Harddrive. ;)

    However, you will need to plug it into another Mac as a Windows Machine will not be able to read the partition if its formatted under Mac OS Extended Journaled / HFS+
