Advice please: Connect 2.5 PATA to main PC

[MSIC]

HI there - am helping a friend who's laptop hard drive (P ATA 2.5 inch) had begun failing (becoming noisy, no longer viewable in the BIOS etc, a new drive has sorted the problem).
I now want to attempt to recover any data, if possible.

Can anyone post me a link or advice on the best sort of lead/cable or connection to do so?
I have considered buying an external hard drive caddy to hook up over USB, but to be honest would happy enough just with some sort of 2.5 to 3.5 inch cable. I tried finding one on Scan but no joy, but did see this "connect ANY IDE device" over USB, for 11 quid.

Any other ideas or experience? Thanks in advance

I've got a couple of those cables at work.
