Assuming the drive spins back up after being left in a cupboard for 15 years, if you’re still even able to find a computer compatible with whatever cables it used back then. But yeah.

Whose to say you’d have a computer compatible with the disc and the drive in 15 years?

And even if the platters are irreparably stuck you could go to a data recovery service and still pull the files off that way.

If proper SATA ever goes away, I’d wager that there will still be SATA-to-USB adapters on sale. Heck, people still find ways to connect floppy drives to their modern PCs.
