Thank you for the valuable information. I have a sata kit for testing external drives but I need to get out of the case it came with

I have a macOS but I haven’t tried it yet.

There are two of them and I don’t think my brother kept back ups, that is why he ask me to figure it out. I am the tech one to go to lol.

What exactly is GoBo Linux ? I have not heard of it yet?
