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?
