M.2 SSD dropped, not sure if functional

[Noiadark]

Hello,

 

I recently purchased a new M.2 SSD, however, I managed to drop it from about a meter (~3 feet) onto hard flooring. 

A few of the pins seem to be damaged along with a bit of plastic being chipped off the tip, but I assume they will still

make a connection and that won't be a problem (correct me if I'm wrong). However, after taking a picture, I noticed a

small crack going through the tip of the PCB, though it can't be seen with the naked eye. Does anyone know, if 

either of these could be detrimental to the SSD working as intended? Has anyone experienced anything similar

before? Unfortunately, I will not have a motherboard to test it myself for a while.

 

Here are a couple of pictures, the damage is on the smaller tip of the connector.

Spoiler

if you just clean up the mess on the connector it should be okay as long as you didn't break off any surface mounted components. There is still plenty of contact surface left on the fingers so as long as it isn't lifting from the board. Just make sure you clean up any bits that might damage or get left behind in an m.2 slot or you might be swearing a lot later

The drop could have cracked solder joints under the chips too, and that's impossible to see. Will be impossible to know without actually trying it.
