    yes #1, these USB to harddrive adaptors work well and are just the thing to temporarily hook up an old hard drive.

    I bought Eforcity adapter for $11 and it works pretty well with IDE and SATA up to 500 GB.

    I've had very mixed experience with a couple of these adapters. Definitely not for long term use.
    Good, IF you get it to work, as a one shot deal. don't use it for typical reading and writing - pull data off old hard drive and that's it.
    Don't expect it to work on just any old drive. Different brand adapters have only worked on select HD brands
