To piggy back off of everyone else, I would get a 500GB ssd. A little IT trick I learned with mechanical drives is you can stick them in the freezer and sometimes you will be able to use them to quickly pull data off if it has burned up. I'm not going to guarantee this will work 100%, but I've had to do it a few times and I am running a 2 for 3 average on this trick. Then follow @Mashiro's advice of using Linux to view files on the disk and get them ready for transfer.
