Hey guys,

I've spent a lot of time reading about Mac users experiences with connecting a Windows 10 internal HDD that was being used inside a Windows 10 PC. I keep getting conflicting information.

I want to connect a 3.5" HDD that has Windows 10 installed and connect it via USB to my Mac so I can copy off some files from the Windows 10 HDD to my Mac.

I'm referring to putting a Windows 10 HDD into a USB dock and then connecting that USB dock to a Mac via USB.

Here are some examples of the types of products I'm referring to:

Is anyone familiar with a reputable brand for these USB HDD docks?

Which brands are trustworthy and won't steal user data? :confused:

Thank you for any advice!

I forgot to ask if anyone is familiar with these brands like:

--Icy Box
--Orico
--Startech

I'll be putting my sensitive data on these devices so I want to know the companies making these products are reputable.

Have not heard of those brands, I use a OWC drive dock. No issues. Use may need a app to read the hard drive, not sure of Win 10
