You wouldn't be able to switch her drive in for yours but if you have a second SSD slot you could put it into that one. Otherwise I would buy this: "https://www.amazon.com/BENFEI-Drive-Adapter-Cable-Compatible/dp/B07F7WDZGT/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=usb+to+sata&qid=1574030213&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExM1hPSVJBQ1hGUlFOJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMjEwNTkxMUpHSDAzSVJVRVUwViZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMjQ2NjM0M1ZSRTFJSTJPQUE0TCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU= " and hook it up that way.
You could use a USB to sata adapter

You'll need an adapter like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07F7WDZGT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_5sc1CbGFP2G25
Yep, that's definitely SATA. Go ahead and buy that adapter: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F7WDZGT
I also recommend using an online backup service like Onedrive or Google Drive. SATA adapters won't help you if your HDD is wiped, laptop lost, fire, etc. Best to have some backups made.
Ah yes, then you would need a cable like this to attach the old removed disk via USB.
First question, are you running a spinning drive or an SSD? if you're running a spinning drive, Buy an SSD and upgrade.
​
you need an SSD
A cable to clone your drive over
and I've always used macrium reflect to clone.
Then just swap in your SSD.

Thank you! I will buy one and see if I can recover the homework
First of all, I'd definitely check the cable you're plugging them into (if it's a PC)
​
Also, you could invest into something like this and see if they're visible?
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Benfei-SATA-Adapter-Supports-UASP/dp/B07F7WDZGT/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1542588052&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=sata+to+usb&psc=1
(useful cable to have anyway)
​
+ If it's a laptop, I'd definitely have a look if it's not because it's overheating? (not sure if that could cause the issue as I've never seen it cause the issue with HDD) - but I guess that depends on what laptop you have.
​
Ok so, either you can buy a ready to go external hard drive or you can use a standard hard drive + a little sata to usb adapter
Since the computers at your school are Apple you would need to install the macos version of C4D on the drive, but it's still doable.
I'm in the UK, is this one okay? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07F7WDZGT/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B07F7WDZGT&pd_rd_w=vU6Vy&pf_rd_p=42743099-3c6a-4370-bd5b-c49af87959ea&pd_rd_wg=2IRtS&pf_rd_r=YSGEWKZ9SDV9A18KTM1F&pd_rd_r=23cab521-6105-4d57-bf34-9dc01685e9ce
Yeah you are not reading what the guy says. On v11 things changed, and you should now change. Just because something worked for the last 6 years doesn't make it indestructable. I agree on saving the SATA ports and that's why these are for sale: [USB to SATA](http://www.USB.com/ 3.0 auf SATA, BENFEI USB 3.0 zu SSD / 2,5-Zoll-SATA-Festplatten Adapter [Optimiert für SSD, Unterstützt UASP SATA III] https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07F7WDZGT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_sdwQDbYGCD27F) just use the internal USB headers of you motherboard.
