Replace the PCB with one has SATA interface. Example : in your case you will have to replace the USB interface PCB with SATA interface PCB ( 2061-701499-xxxx ) then you can connect the drive to SD doctor.

Good luck

the HDD is a Venus. Maybe you have compatible SATA equivilent somewhere.

These disks can be not so easy to work on depending on the problem, what is problem with this? Or is it simply that you do not have correct USB cable for this?

There is always a ATA interface. How does the USB know what to IO? You just need to find it... if you can;; i guess you could swap the board and all that too...
