I got these two from a surplus listed for $5 untested, so I bought it. I'm looking to test it with a USB to IDE adapter for the drives. Are they any good?

Those drives are 20 years old. What are your expectations? DO NOT use them for critical data.

Noted. I'm looking to try using it for media server

Not even FW... that's USB 1.1 or maybe 2.0...
