rip game storage harddrive
(lemm.ee)
Some routine maintenence and losing your balance while holding a hard drive and ripping the cord out breaking the retainer for the connectors..... 4tb Samsung ssd RIP
You might still be able to use it if you carefully superglue back the plastic part.
A more permanent fix would be to replace the SATA connector and solder a new one by someone with the proper skillset.
The important parts are still in good shape, don't throw it away!
Seconded. If OP lives anywhere near a city, there's probably an electronics repair shop within reach that would solder on a new connector for less than the cost of a new SSD.
