So excited to consolidate my mess of drives and get a big boost to my storage.

    No, but it’s pretty common for people to spin up drives that are 10 to 20 years old and successfully remove all of the contents. SSD’s ate generally not going to be able to do that even under ideal circumstances.

      Yes, but hardly because they planned on it. Don’t use unpowered drives to store things! A safe bet is still a bet, data storage should not be a gamble.
