Hello how is everyone.
So i had a Grindy PSU fan. Annoying as it gets. So at first I don't know where the sound is coming from blah blah blah find its the PSU. Realize I have another one on the shelf. So I am just going to do a swap. Swap everything out but the cords that go to the drives didn't feel like re routing to all those drives. Go to boot over voltage protection kicks in turns off the PSU. I start disconnecting stuff try to figure out what it is. Everything is working but the drives. Realize I didn't change that cable and one PSU is using much bigger gauge wire than the other. Since this was a 200$ mistake I would like to learn from it.
My basic guess is that the smaller gauge wire like a smaller hose with more water pressure forced the voltage up well above the normal for the drives. I don't know the math or mechanics of it as well as others here so maybe someone can elaborate better.
Also anyone who has suggestions on repairing either of these drives let me know I think I can get a new board for the HDD but I don't even know where to start with the SSD.
