I have a bunch of HDDs and several laptop generations from around 20 years of computer usage. What I used to do is to keep the old drive whenever I reinstall the OS (mostly Windows). Sometimes I keep a few usefull stuff in some obscure, sometimes hidden folders and forgot about them. Sometimes there are encrypted files too.
What is the recommended software to help me scan those drives, and find the useful ones?
In theory, I will be interested in photos, office documents, maybe there are Outlook backup files. 3D moddeling and CAD files from university. I might want to manually look through files of certain size and bigger, sometimes there are stuff in zip archives.
Some drives might not be working anymore due to age, or data on HDD lost their "magnetism", I am aware.
