    Accidently hot swapped internal SSD - damaged ?


    I have a hardly used 250GB Kingston SSD that I plan on using in a new build for a neighbor. I thought I'd erase the previous files, so I opened up a spare pc and connected up the power + data. I went to hit the power button and it was already lit up - I must have accidently touched the switch when I was turning the box around.

    I'd connected the SSD whilst the pc was turned on - I guess I didn't notice because it has a water cooler, so there's no Intel HSF spinning up. The SSD was detected and I downloaded a speed test which showed 550 MB/s.

    Do you think I may have damaged the SSD ? I don't want my neighbor's new pc crashing and him losing data etc.

    TIA

    :)

  2. Disable hot swap for internal HD's ?

    This multistring value sets first eight SATA disks as non-removable (overrides controller/driver settings).

    Windows 10 Pro 1903 not working with hot swap

    In the BIOS the four SATA ports connected to my two ICY DOC dual [3.5 and 2.5 in each unit] hot swap bays are set with Hot Swap Enabled. I have been having issues with power supply and motherboard, but got that all straightened out. I tested the hot swap
    with various drives in the various bays in 1803. there are separate power buttons (4). I could put a drive in a bay, turn on the power to that bay, and the drive would show up in the Safe To Remove list with a ding, and show up in File Explorer. I tested
    3.5 drives and 2.5 drives, and it all worked as it is supposed to. Silly me, I thought it was all good.

    Then just to be safe, I ran sfc /scannow and the 3 DISM commands - all good. So I thought, okay lets upgrade to 1903. I did and all was going okay until I realized I needed to do a data backup to one of the 2.5 HDD in the hot swap bay. I pushed the power
    button. No ding, no Safe to Remove icon, and when I clicked on File Manage - noting. The system was totally locked up and the only way forward was to turn the power off.

    When I restarted with the power to the 2.5 inch HDD still on, it all came up and that drive was available, but still no Safe to Remove icon.

    Please understand that I also have another bootable SSD with 1803 on it that I can put into the hot swap bay and boot to it, so I am not stopped from working. All data is on two other physical drives.

    Update: I took a new SSD and installed 1903 on it and it all worked as it is supposed to, so now I am in the middle of building up from scratch. In the meantime I can boot to the other 1903 or even the 1803 SSD to work.

    So - Never mind!
