I have an old Quantum Fireball 15 GB Internal HDD - 3.5" which has a PATA IDE interface, and a Western Digital 1TB SATA HDD.
Can I buy a single caddy which will accept both of these hard drives so I can pull old stuff off of them? Or do I have to buy two separate? Has anyone bought/used one they can recommend?

Thanks in advance
Cad

Hasn't this already been covered? There are loads of the adapters on Amazon. Do you actually need to box it up inside a metal box/caddy while you get the data off?

So this one will definitely do the job? I just want to be sure.

Thanks
