those are 18gb page files on the 1tb and 500gb. that means we got two discrete suspects

that means these systems probably had 12GB of RAM. A lil hefty for a typical office machine

a wipe would delete page files. The mystery deepens

wait

the pagefile.sys only shows up in the screenshot of the first drive, for a volume labelled D:
The other two drives are volume E:

So, either you had the first one mounted and then swapped in the last two while it was still up, or the volume labels changed for some reason, and also the pagefile.sys still only shows on the one volume (in your screenshots)
Also the pagefile is variable and wouldn't be at 18gb for 12gb of ram nor is 12gb of ram, uh...well normal lets say.

I swapped it out, had to disconnect one to plug in the other

Recuva should do the trick. Anything it can't see is probably gone for good.

It's really not a good idea to do this though. Cops don't have any training on data stuff, and "I found this in the garbage" won't get you far.

Just leave data devices alone. Same idea as used condoms.

Another option you could try is Autopsy (https://www.sleuthkit.org/autopsy/). It's open source and does a pretty decent job at finding deleted files etc. without being overly difficult to use.

Yeah that's the one I was using in college, it's good poo poo.

Also yeah if you are getting rid of a hard drive you might as well zero it out, it's like rinsing your cans before you throw them out :classiclol:

lol sure they wouldn't that's the easiest trick in the book.
If you saw a smashed up hdd sitting there you'd think "holy poo poo I bet that had secret military schematics or lost books of the Bible on it" and you would be right 100% of the time and some one is gonna take them drives.
Now you just toss some perfectly good, normal looking drives to the curb in a suburb somewhere, who's gonna think twice? No one. That's who. They'll think "Oh good more free hard drives from the hard drive elf" or whatever the hell normal people think about such stupid idiot poo poo with their moron brains because of how dumb they are!

Now you're in the clear because they're just gonna install Windows over the top of it and play Oregon Trail until they die of being dumb and no one is ever the wiser. Boom. Wasted.

I found an old computer on the side of the road a few years ago and booted it up and found little of interest until I found a folder full of homegrown of the obese owner and his obese wife. I knew it was them because they were the same people in all the family vacation photos in the "my pictures" folder.
