[SOLVED] Did I fry my SSD?

[wilkea21403]

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.

It slides in pretty nicely...Thought that was how it was suppose to go.

The two smaller segments on a B key m.2 drive....you connected these directly to the SATA power cables coming off the PSU?
And now the system does not see it?

Yeah, you killed that drive.

Could we see clear, detailed photos of both sides of each PCB?
