Cheap Chinese Ebay SATA cables destroyed a three SSD and a 2tb backup

[joojoo1234]

Those extender cables you can buy seem to have wiped out a new ssd...assumed it was a fluke...replaced it and it burned the next one...pulled it out and took one I hadn't used and it was a Y type and burned another SSD and the 2TB drive with my life on it. Smell a burned smell on all of those drives and they will not recognize. The spin drive won't even spin. Incredible. I think I am going going to ditch the whole thing as it is so crazy and buy a new Ryzen threadripper system and be done with it. Brand new power supply... maybe it is the issue. I was updating stuff and it was booting but bad stuff kept occurring like drives not getting recognized....My opinion is to never buy that y sata stuff and extenders. I wish manufacturers would make these sata cables durable and flexible as they are a pain straight off the supply. You hear of this type of thing?

They do make them, high quality too. You just have to pay for the better quality ones. The old addage applies, you get what you pay for.
