Have some new old stock SATA drives vomiting at you?

Grab your contact cleaner and clean their SATA connectors!

I just bought a new 1TB Crucial MX500 made in god knows what year and installed it in a virgin SATA port of a M710q made in 2016 and I got the vomit you see above every time I loaded the drive. Reseated all the connectors. More vomit. Scratched my head a couple of times reaching for the trash bin and I had a brainwave that there might be oxidation from sitting naked with the elements. Took out the DeoxIt Gold, dabbed all the connectors on the SATA path, cycled them a few times, powered on and loaded the drive. No more vomit.

reset failed, giving up

Mood.

[–] BigMikeInAustin@lemmy.world 19 points 6 months ago

Nice. I would not have thought to clean the connectors.

[–] TheHolm@aussie.zone 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Usually just plug/unplug couple of times is enough. No fancy chemicals.

SATA minimum rated connection cycles is 50. 😂

[–] johntash@eviltoast.org 9 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Dumb question but what do you mean you cycled them a few times?

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 9 points 6 months ago

Unplugged and plugged back in.

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Plugged/unplugged.

[–] SecretSauces@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Well there's your problem. You've got to plug it back in!

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

Uh they're played in gold and the geek squad guy specifically said they never need washing
