Was trying to troubleshoot a PS issue on my machine and, long story short, the little L-shaped plastic mount/brace thing on the main/boot SSD drive broke off. The pins appear to be OK, but I cannot find the little plastic piece.

I can probably duct tape the cable to the drive to hold it in place temporarily to boot a few more times, but honestly, I don't think there is anything on the drive besides WIndows and program files.

Assuming everything on that drive is backed-up or otherwise replaceable, should I just scrap it? I worry about data corruption should I try to keep using it.
