Is it detected in the BIOS? Are you hearing it spin up when the machine boots? Any abnormal ticking noises? Hard drives can get warm under load, but not like painful to touch hot.

If it's getting hot I'd say definitely don't use it.

Yeah turns out my psu had a defective sata slot (tough power 850) and that killed 2x hdds and 1 x ssd

And 1x lian li strimer controller

Since the PSU and strimer were in warranty I am getting them replaced (psu I am switching to mwe 850), yet it hurts losing data

Context : 

Ps: made the following upgrades to pc

R7 1700 to R7 5700x

Gtx 1070 to rtx 3070

And vs 650 to toughpower gf 850

 

And the PSU had a defective sata power cable which ended up killing 2x hard drives 1x ssd and lian li strimmer

 

Was lucky enough that I got strimer rma'ed in one day and would be getting a replacement unit for power supply (mwe 850)

But losing important data hurts 

So don't forget 321

3 backups

2 mediums

1 offshore

Really?

Offshore or offsite 

Similar to having your work backed up at home or on gcloud/airtable
