My drive died :(

So, my old Maxtor 250 GB died during a backup. I replaced it with a WD Blue 500 GB HDD, but the Maxtor one, died and smoked all over, doing a bad smell. The chip burned, and no matter how much SATA connectors I put, it won’t work. Please always use a drive bay for backing up a drive. (i am now a f*ck that i didnt realize.) RIP 2020-2021. #backupresponsibly
