You probably remember the time when I used to own both of those following 💻s before I own my current one (Lenovo), which those were both 13" Dell and Samsung, respectively... Since both of them were no longer work properly, I decided to take each of their own hard disk drives from them both in order to retrieve MANY of my old archived files from it. However, they both suddenly had their own problem where I was attempted to connect them to my current 💻 using the USB SATA cable, therefore I no longer able to retrieve ALL of my old archived files from them both anymore. Without further ado, let me explain both of those hard drives that came from both of those old 💻, right away.
A. Western Digital 500 GB (13" Dell)
Started off with this particular Western Digital 500 GB one. This was the one that originally came with that ancient 13" Dell 💻 that I stupidly wasted a lot of bucks from 6 years ago. At first glance, it worked reasonably fine, including by how I connected to my current 💻 using the SATA USB cable roughly after a while later since the Dell's LCD backlight screen died. However, somewhere in the last year, it suddenly ran into a problem where it simply bogged down for a whole lot, which caused it painfully slow to load everything on my current 💻's screen, specifically on the Windows Explorer. I tried many ways in order to fix it, but it barely did anything. Right now, I still keep it despite the current state that it has, but I don't think if I eventually decide to plug it on my current 💻 though for the umpteenth time.
B. Toshiba 320 GB (Samsung)
And then, there's this particular Toshiba 320 GB, which originally came from my old Samsung that I purchased back in 2013 (which also replaced my very first laptop, which was that Acer, though the condition of that Acer was okay apart from that weird BSOD itself which I already explained in some of my older Blogspot articles before)... Right after the original LCD screen itself went all white (which was unrepairable, with how the screen's bezel itself was also broken on one of the hinges), I decided to take the hard disk drive itself out from it and connected it to my current 💻 using the SATA USB cable, though I had a lot of "effort" for removing it from my old 💻's hard disk drive's slot thanks to all of those screws that originally screwed it in there. Similarly to that Western Digital one, it used to work reasonably okay, either during the old 💻 that used to equip it was working on it's own for years, or during I connected it to to my current 💻 using the SATA USB cable...... until it suddenly ran into a problem in similar fashion to that Western Digital too, except it now no longer getting recognized with my current 💻. During it occurred, I was attempted to check ALL of my old archived files on it, and then Windows Explorer on my current 💻 suddenly froze instead. Instead of restarting the Windows Explorer during it was in "Not Responding" state, I stupidly unplug the hard drive itself RIGHT in that exact state❗ Because of that, it simply no longer getting recognized with my current 💻. I tried many ways in order to fix it, but it obviously didn't do anything at all, yet it also makes some weird ticking noises from it too when this occurred.

Well then, there you have it for both of those old 💻 hard disk drives that were once worked, but now both of them have their problems that I couldn't even fix them purely by myself. If you know about how to repair them (though it's nearly impossible to fix them both), please let me know particularly about it in the comments section if you're able to. That's basically it for what I could particularly say about this, and pay attention when it comes to treating one of those old physical storage devices like those, otherwise they will end up like both of those that I mentioned there.
