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:

1000002680

Many thanks! D

Both seem to be SATA disks, so a SATA to USB adapter should do the trick.

I just added a third disk - is this still the case? I know that one of them is a tad different. Unfortunately im not there to examine them myself and its my mom sending me the photos from home.

Most adapters will do both SATA and IDE.
