uhhh... If you yank out a SSD it will not cause flames or sparks... it will shut down your PC though....


my 2 year old son LOVES to yank shit out my my open case PC while it's running..... so far he's pulled the cables on SSD drives.. PCI-E/molex adapters and fans..... PC only shuts down.... still works fine Tongue

why sould it shut down the pc? sata (assumption) is hotplug.
The OS gets confused if the ssd was also the boot drive

Confirmed. 2 year old yanked a SSD off a miner last week and it BSODed in 2 secs. Fortunately no OS corruption.  The drive was hanging the same way but using a locking SATA cable.
