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!
Having all pins present, I wouldn’t be surprised if the drive still gets detected while bending a SATA cable back juuuuuust right so its connector makes contact with the pins.
My sympathies that is painful.
Hopefully what’s on the disk could be salvaged from a computer shop or something. 4tb SSD though… Ouch.
Just my steam and GOG library, nothing valuable besides the hardware :/
