Question: So I had a disk crash yesterday where I wasn’t able to boot Windows from it. I tried plugging the SSD into a SATA to USB adapter but could not find it in disk management. I also had another disk in my PC with the disk crash (HDD), but didn’t check that one before just now. I can not see the HDD either with the SATA to USB adapter. I know the adapter is working, as I’ve tried it with several other disks on all my different computers, and I can see all my other disks in disk management.
Have I managed to fry both of my drives somehow? This is really weird to me, as I replaced my PSU and the SSD 14 months ago after I had 2 disks crash on me back then. Is there any component in my computer that could have fried them? Last time I was certain it was the PSU’s fault as the power cable for a disk caught fire, but since then I have switched out all of the cables inside my computer after I got the new PSU.
I’m really confused about what the issue might be, and I’m now scared it will happen again. I’ve lost all of my data from my SSD and my HDD now, and I don’t want this to happen again. Anything I can do to try and trace what might have gone wrong to fry 2 of my disks? I don’t know where to start.
Answer:which SSD is it?
SSDs are more sensitive when it comes to over current or voltage
Is it recognized in BIOS?
Could be in frozen state
Use the manufacturer?s tool of the SSD and have a look if it?s recognized by it
while the PC is on, unplug sata power cable wait a bit and reconnect the power cable to the SSD
