USB adapter for old macbook pro hard drive

I am trying to get my old macbook pro to start up, but after getting a new battery and magsafe charger, it still won't start. So I am opting to go the route of at least rescuing the info off the hard drive. I have seen a lot of posts on this topic of getting an adapter, but truthfully, it makes me crazy trying to find the answer(s)...hence this new post.


See attached photos of the HD I need to get an adapter for. Can someone send me a link to the right product? Thank you!!

MacBook Pro 15″, OS X 10.11

You can buy an 2.5" external enclosure and insert the drive

one example: https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/owc-express/usb-3.1


for any USB device to connect to a new Mac—
