Hi troops, I'm trying to get photos files from my dad's old HDDs. We no longer have access to any old PCs to acutally plug them in, so I was wondering if you could point me to some sort of USB converter that would allow me to grab files from them. My cousin has a PC but it's a newer model with more up to date connection to HDD/SSD. Disks in question:

Many thanks! D

See if you can get photos of the connectors sent, 80GB is probably old enough to be ide and not sata

The first one is IDE and the second 2 are sata. The adapter you havelikely wont work but they do make sata/ide to usb adapters that should come with the adapter you plug into the hard drive for data as well has a power brick to power the drive itself. You should be able to just look for a sata/ide to usb kit
