Need help with trying out SATA to USB Hard Drive Adapter?

Nope, you don't need any more drivers and sadly you may not be able to recover anything because of the error message you describe. A cyclic redundancy check error means the platters and/or spinning engine might have got damaged, but on the other hand, there's a chance that the external enclosure isn't the best way to try to recover your files since it goes through an interface conversion and other technical matters. Try to have it checked in another computer with the proper direct connection and ask for checking the S.M.A.R.T. health status reports of the drive. If it's still workable, then it's not for the long run and you have to get your data backed up as soon as possible, before the drive dies. Look for professional tech help in order to get this done with a positive result.
