Maybe this should go in data storage. I don't know. I can't see straight right now.
I was swapping out my HX1000 for an AX1200. I connected the basic essentials (mobo, cpu, gpu) to make sure everything was good so far. Check.
I then hook up everything else, flip the switch, and turn the computer on again. I immediately hear some electric crackling/popping sounds and immediately kill the power. I don't see anything wrong with the connections I made. I've done this a million times, but all of my storage is gone. Everything else is fine. One of the SSDs was pretty hot for some reason (Although all three were on the same cord).
I could care less that $700-800 worth of equipment is gone (But that sucks ass in itself). I'm graduating soon with two bachelor's degrees in Computer Science, Digital Art and now have nearly nothing to show for what I've done in the past five years. I was literally in a tiny moment of vulnerability in changing how I back everything up (Have 2 x 2TB drives in the mail that arrive tomorrow, even).
Any idea what happened? Is there anything Corsair can do for me at all?
As for the data, the SSDs were in RAID 0 and the HDD backed them up. I'm assuming the SSDs are long gone. Was maybe just the controller board on the HDD fried and the data is still intact on the platters? Would it be possible to replace said board to recover the data, perhaps?
Also, does anyone know a good way to tie a noose? (Joking, not going to kill myself, don't call the cops)
