Store them on punch cards. They are cheap.

*I'm a noob* I shucked a WD Elements 2TB external drive I bought a few years ago and found the base board has USB, not SATA. It's a WD20NMVW. I'm guessing there's no SATA beneath all of this? in c/[email protected]

Most external 2.5" drives do not have sata connections. Only the 3.5" drives are a reasonable safe bet, and it's still not a sure thing. Best to look up the drive before purchasing.

When transfering data from a hdd with a rellocated sector count-warning, is there anything special to keep in mind? in c/[email protected]

Yes. Be sure to mark the drive as bad so it does not get reused.
