good news! Anyone can DIY for USB HDD conversion to SATA adapter. Since I've been busy recently (development, debugging for
Monolith's data recovery equipment) so only 2 models (WD-810035, WD-800067) have been tested and can work normally. I'll create more when I'm done with work.
How to use?
1: Remove the 4 capacitors connecting the USB-SATA controller to the HDD controller
2: Use an electric soldering iron to attach solder to the pad via holes marked E71/E72/E73/E75 on the PCB and the GND and +5V pads. It is recommended to use low-temperature solder. If you can buy alloy solder containing bismuth and indium, That's the best option.
3: Align the adapter with the edge of the PCB and the screw holes, and screw on the original screws.
4: Apply flux, use a soldering iron to attach the melted solder to the hole on the pad of the adapter, the adapter will be combined with the HDD circuit board
5: Use the diode position of the multimeter, the red test lead points to GND, and the black test lead points to the soldered pad. If everything is normal, it should display a value in the range of 0.35-0.45.

PCB thickness 0.8MM-1.0MM！0.8MM is the best :o
