Question Old IDE drive recovery

[OldDriveRecovery]

Hello, I've got 2 really old IDE drives. One Toshiba and one Fujitsu. I bought a 2.5" IDE to USB adapter but the drives don't spin, I've also tried a adapter I had lying around. Before I write them off as broken I wanted to double check I'm not doing something completely wrong here. I was wondering if its a power connector issue but all adapters I find don't have any extra power connectors.
Here's a link to what one of the drives looks like and both the adapters.

Do you have some valuable data in those drives?
If not, then forget about those.
Old 60GB drives are not really usable for anything.

What specific IDE-USB adapter?

But agree with the above. Unless there is life changing data on this, let it go.

An adapter without a power input jack cannot possibly work here. USB 2.0 can deliver 5V 100mA or 0.5w, and negotiate up to 500mA or 2.5w for a "high power device." Your pictured Toshiba drive clearly requires 1000mA or 5w unless you think its sticker is lying to you.

If you have an externally powered USB hub laying around, it may have unregulated amperage and thus be a workaround.
