Inspiron 2350, use HDD in external enclosure?
I have a failed 1Tb hard drive from my Inspiron 2350 AIO. The SATA connectors are not standard (it plugs into the Motherboard. I would like to put this in an external drive and try to get some data off it. So I'm hoping to find an adapter or something convert this to a standard SATA connector

You don't need a converter. You need to remove the Interposer.
It doesn't come off until you remove the drive from the bracket.
Take the bracket off and Carefully pull interposer straight off.
Since this is laptop size you can use a Sata Wire to make it like a gigantic flash drive.
