If you are a data hoarder and like disks, I'd suggest getting your
hands on some hardware that has a SATA controller. It doesn't need to
be fancy or new. Pretty much any working desktop is fine.
You're suggesting the disks get tested in the case itself, right? Like
any hardwarephobe, that's something I really, REALLY don't like to do.
Yes, sorry to suggest a screwdriver.
I thought since you were using a USB case, that you had a laptop. It
sounds like you have a desktop. Is that right? Plug in the disk there
via a SATA cable.
Is the "dock" you were talking about something that fits into a desktop
drive bay that you can slide a SATA disk into? That's a nice bit of
hardware to have. I have three 3.5 and two 2.5. I'm always helping
friends and customers rescue data. It means I don't have to fiddle with
cables and screws as much.
