I have 5 old IDE HDD: 2 Maxtor, 2 Seagate, and 1 Western Digital. They have the interfaces shown in the picture. What product should I buy to retrieve the data off of each one of them?

Quote HistoryYea what he said. I'll be honest though and say that my experience in the past with those USB style cables wasn't good. I generally would buy a 3.5 inch pata enclosure and just take the board out of it. Seemed to work a lot better. Either way you have a ton of options. Might need to play with the jumper settings on the drives which will be marked on most of them. Set them to single drive, master or cable select. If they are set to slave the adapter might not read it(depending on the adapter it might call for it to be set to one type). |

yeah, that's why I said get a USB thing with a power supply. I have a nice sata/ide thing that you drop the drives in, it works well but it's $50 and for a single use not worth it

just buy the IDE->USB thing I linked to before. Looking at the caddys it looks like WD drives aren't supported, looking at your picture I'd guess the bottom drive is WD since it has the power and IDE header right next to each other unlike the other two.

check your computer's motherboard, it might have an IDE slot for plugging in the DVD drives or such. If so, you can just get a standard IDE cable and plug it straight into your motherboard

Your current computer is a laptop? Most desktops as long as they're pre 2012 should still have an IDE

Yes, my current computer is a laptop. I might be able to scare up a desktop carcass around here.
