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

I have one of these things that pops on top of my external HDD and a cable that came with it

1000002681

1000002683

Is this any good?

this is meant for 2.5 hard drives and while it might plug into the 2 3.5 inch sata drives you have, it likely wont be able to power it
