I pulled a used internal drive from my old Dell Inspiron 560. Can it be used as a slave on my new Dell to recover the old data, etc. ??

Hello, mmiller2257

SATA drives do not have a master/slave setting. have them check the motherboard to see how may SATA drives it supports. there may be multiple SATA controllers and they may need to connect to different SATA ports.

Thank you for the response - I was able to obtain a “Anker” SATA Adapter (to USB 3.0) & have been able to transfer all my old data off the Western hard drive.
Thank you again for the response.
