Hello internet people. I know everyone read that leaving ssd without power for a week or even a month won't hurt its data, right? Well i got a bit different situation.
About a year ago i bought my first new ssd (SanDisk ssd plus 240gb) really dirty cheap. It all went well until my laptop decided to kill itself. So i removed the hdd and the ssd that i have installed and left in a drawer, put the broken laptop in the closet and completely forgot about everything. Until now. Recently i put together a small (and old)system for testing and practicing, chucked in the ssd (which did have windows 7 and other data that i kinda like to keep). Guess what. BIOS can't read the damn ssd. You can find it in advanced bios options, but it cannot boot it up. Connected good old hdd and it booted up from the first time.
So my question is - Is it possible that SSD lost data while being left alone unpowered for a bit longer then a year? Or is there more to it? All setting in bios is set to read the sata first, then the rest.
