However...what size is that old drive?
Is there anything critical on it? If not, the added space is probably not worth the hassle.

The size is 73 and 146 Gb. I need format my HD's using application for low format level.

If you are trying to wipe the drive i would just drill through it.

I can't do this. This HD's will be used for other people. Like gift. Off course your solution it's more easy =D

Gifting to other people?
That's a hassle with those old, small drives.

A new 1TB HDD is maybe $45.
That 73GB and 146GB is 7% and 14% of that 1TB.

Unless you are gifting them to a known gearhead with the relevant connector parts, and is willing to put up with the screaming 10,000RPM, and the basic unreliability of ancient drives...don't bother.

But, adapters do exist, as listed above.
