Due to a motherboard short, I’m concerned about the health of my SSD. I want to read the contents of the SSD via an SATA-USB adapter on my laptop. I have already verified my mechanical hard disk drives with this method. However, I’ve never tried to connect an SSD to the adapter.
Modularity and abstraction via the SSD controller probably means that it is safe to do so, but I want to verify it here nonetheless: Is it safe to connect an SSD to a PC via an SATA-USB adapter or are there potential side effects in doing so?
If it fits and the drivers are OK and the disk gets enough power you should be fine. – x13 – 2015-10-04T19:46:23.447
As far as the SATA controller goes, a drive is a drive. Solid State or Hard Disk… It makes no difference. – JakeGould – 2015-10-04T20:37:59.093
There are no potential side effects that I have ever heard of and it should be perfectly safe to connect the SSD to a SATA to USB adapter. I would however test he USB to SATA adapter with a different drive first if possible. – Techpumpkin_WD – 2015-10-09T07:40:19.180
