So, recently I purchased a new laptop which allowed you to swap the SSDs. There was a small compartment which allowed me to do just that. The SSD is smaller, and an M2 format with three notches, two small ones and one larger one in the middle
I wanted to replace it with a SSD with more storage, and needed to clone the old drive. I wasn't thinking at the time, and don't know a lot about this stuff, but on my desktop computer I installed the two small SSD into the SATA POWER cable in parallel, as they fit right in. I don't know how I could have been so stupid, and thought I could do this...
Did I fry my new SSDs in the process? Is there any way to get the data back? The SSD now gets really hot, but the light will come on when I install it in my laptop.
The BIOS however will not see it.
