Well I now have the Studio PC sorted. Not with what I wanted, but what I needed.
I popped into the computer shop where the PC had been built, and had a discussion with the guy who runs it. Having the PC repaired will cost a minimum of $40 for the service charge, plus whatever was needed. And it might break down again. However, $40 would also get me a USB DOCKING STATION for 2.5" and 3.5" SATA hard drives. So that's what I bought. I'll just dismantle the PC and if I need to, plugin any 2.5" or 3.5" SATA Hard Drive that I need to recover.
I'm greatly relieved at this solution. If and when I get a newer PC it'll probably be a laptop.

AH that is a nice solution and I could use one of those docking stations. Got a part number?
ReplyDeleteShelenn Ayres This is what I bought:

Looks great! What I am looking for is a docking station i can use to dock old laptop internal HDDs so I can get data off of them before I take the sledgehammer to them. LOL
ReplyDeleteShelenn Ayres Well that'd be the 2.5" drives I think. Also, it needs USB 3. Seems I don't have one of those - yet!
ReplyDeleteLaura Ess Likely so but I will also need IDE interfaces as well.
ReplyDeleteI've tried adapters twice now with both breaking quickly.
