SSD kills power to anything it is plugged into

[grant.thompson.usn]

I think my SSD may have been damaged in a power outage and it has a file on it that I really would like to get back. However, any time that the SSD is plugged in, it kills power to whatever I am plugging it into. Tried with 2 desktops, a laptop, USB powered external enclosure and an external powered HDD hub. I'm not too hopeful with my odds, but I figured I would ask to see if there is even a slight chance of retrieving the file. Thanks.

There is always a chance to recover data, question is how much are you willing to spend on it? Take the drive to a data recovery place and see what the quote is for a possible fix. It could be possible to put another connector on the drive or access the storage in some other way.
