I would like to check the function of an SSD by installing it in another notebook, instead of the SSD used there. It had previously been used in a different notebook as the main hard drive with operating system, but is now no longer recognized. Is that so easy? Or has to expect a loss of data on one of the hard drives? Otherwise, I'll buy an SSD case and check it out.
A loss of data is not to be expected, it will come only because of the other system to many problems regarding drivers, etc. It makes more sense a SATA to USB adapter.
You now give the SSD a big jacket instead of a small one.
Could lead to 1-2 complications, but definitely does not lead to data loss.
Buy an external case, it does not cost the world and there you can install and test the hard disk without risk.
Works both without data loss. If you install the other SSD, you simply have to select the new SSD in the boot menu, if that is not automatically detected and set up, and then boot the operating system from it! Otherwise nothing happens.
Since Windows will recognize that new devices are used and install appropriate drivers before it starts normally.
You do not have a data loss there
Does this adapter fit? The case is not for m.2 SSDs, but the adapter has the SATA 3 connector. https://www.amazon.de/...01GDZACDK/
I did not know that we're talking about m.2 SSDs, I'm assuming an ordinary 2.5 "SATA SSD, which SSD exactly is it? It's important if it's communicating via Sata or NVMe.
It's just a sata.
Which exactly?
