Did I kill my SSD?
Hi guys,
Does anybody know if it's possible to kill an SSD by plugging it into a potentially faulty SATA/IDE to USB 2.0 adapter?: one of these things:
- I wanted to plug the SSD externally to my laptop to transfer all my files but I just get a flashing light on the power supply and nothing appears on my laptop.
I ask because I bought 2 used SSD's on eBay recently and both were DOA after I plugged them in, they're private sellers but one has good feedback. One of the sellers didn't package it in anti-static bag though, so could it have been caused during delivery?
The SATA/IDE to USB adapter was working fine before.
Did I manage to do the impossible and kill a couple SSD's or were they more likely dead when they got to me?
