I was cleaning up some old stuff and found two old PATA HDDs and I'd like to recover the data from them, but I don't know how since I threw away the PC that used them a long time ago. The drives are:

  • ■ Seagate Barracuda 7200.7, 40GB, ST340014A
    ■ Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9, 60GB, 6Y060L0
I've found what I think are the data cables. What else do I need to get to connect them to my PC? Ideally I'd want to mount them externally. My PC supports SATA 1-3 only and has an eSATA3 connector, if that's any help.
 


You sure this will be allright? The amazon reviews for this one say the PSU could fry the disk. I imagine recovering data from a 10 year old HDD is quite a long shot but I'd rather not mess it up
