Accidently hot swapped internal SSD - damaged ?
I have a hardly used 250GB Kingston SSD that I plan on using in a new build for a neighbor. I thought I'd erase the previous files, so I opened up a spare pc and connected up the power + data. I went to hit the power button and it was already lit up - I must have accidently touched the switch when I was turning the box around.
I'd connected the SSD whilst the pc was turned on - I guess I didn't notice because it has a water cooler, so there's no Intel HSF spinning up. The SSD was detected and I downloaded a speed test which showed 550 MB/s.
Do you think I may have damaged the SSD ? I don't want my neighbor's new pc crashing and him losing data etc.
TIA
