How to search for deleted crypto wallets on my old hard drives

I learned about bitcoin from the gawker article about the Silk Road

I believed I mined mined small amount back then

I have some old hard drives from that era but haven't bothered looking around for it

I deleted and reinstalled my os very often because Linux was (and still remains) broken butt garbage so I'm assuming I probably overwrite the key files long ago

Bored today so I guess I'll look around

What is the safest way to search for deleted shit on old drives without fricking up the drives and further deleting it

Use one of those external sata-to-usb thingies

Mount as read only if possible

If the drive won't spin up, try putting it in a ziploc, then the freezer. That or give it a sharp twist as it tries spinning

I did this as a last effort to access my old wallet and it didn't work. It's worth a shot though.

The drive spins up but doesn't connect via sata, I think cuz I left it disconnected in closet for years and the pins are noticeably blackened with dust

Planning to get some isopropyl in the morning and see if that fixes it
