My SSD died :(

I had a 2 year old 480gb sandisk ultra II drive in my desktop and sadly it short circuited the other day.  I was wondering if there is any way to restore it without voiding my warranty.  I'd rather not rma because it would take more time, but I can do that.  I have a backup 2tb hdd in my pc, but I had to reinstall windows onto it, but it's much slower and louder.

Without going to a data recovery specialist, there's not really much you can do.

By yourself, I don't think there's much you can do.

 

You could try taking it to a data recovery specialist and they MAY be able to do something with it. Big emphasis on may, since if the short affected any of the nand flash then you're doomed.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

I doubt it was my psu: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/2cDwrH/logisys-power-supply-ps480dbk because even though this thing looks pretty janky, it's been really reliable in my build for the past year and a half, so I honestly have no idea.  It doesn't show up in the bios, it doesn't show up as en external drive in my enclosure and frankly it just seems dead.

No idea.  I wasn't screwing with it or anything, just trying to overclock.  I reset the bios and went in and boom dead ssd.  I was wondering why though for the past 2 weeks whenever I tried to overclock my cpu that I have booting problems.  I should've realized and stopped but I guess I have to see if it's covered by the warranty.

Yo that thing is janky AF. $20? C'mon now let's be honest. At least snag a CXM.

Nope gonna keep it until black friday/cyber monday.  0 problems for the 1.5 years I've had it and low heat/noise EDIT: it was $13 when I bought it :P

Except for the fact that this thing probably just killed your SSD.
