WD 500GB Sata broke, need docking device

I have a 500 GB external WD hard drive, WD50008MVV made in 2010. It broke, no longer reads using supplied USB cable. Spins up, but wont show any data. I am looking for a docking station that will accept it, as it has a micro usb cable soldered to board where connections are at for a docking station.

But, is this a real SATA drive as the connectors are not the same as my HP notebook SATA drive.

Hello,

If you need to recover the information on this drive I recommend contacting a data recovery company.
