Hello,
I'd like to know if it is safe to place my dead laptop´s disk in one of my dektop´s SSD bays, my main concern is about air flow. My case is a Corsair Carbide 200R which features 2 SSD bays. I never had a SSD before but my guessings are that unlike HDD they don´t need a lot of ventilation.
The drive i want to plug in my PC is a 2.5" Samsung HDD I extracted from my broken Notebook. I really want to recover my data so I first tried using an appropiate enclosure. By doing this i found that my PC´s Disk Manager recognizes my drive as Dynamic and invalid (not showing it in the explorer), tried to reactivate the disk but the manager failed since "that action is not allowed in an invalid disk". That´s why I want to try plugging it directly to my Motherboard hoping that is the enclosure the faulty one and not my drive.
Additional info:
My Dektop´s OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit edition
The OS installed in my 2.5" drive is Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit edition. there are also few partitions on it, one containing the OS, one for my files and another one for the System Recovery partition installed by the manufacturer (HP).
Thank you in advance.
