Hello,

Last december, an incompetent delivery guy left a cardboard box containing a 2.5" SSD in the snow next to my house. It snowed on it before I came back home and I just found it last week. (I got a refund from amazon, by the way.) It was, of course, completely drenched.

I thoroughly dried it using rice for a week and plugged it into an eSATA enclosure. The drive mounted on the desktop and I formatted it successfully. But when I tested it using BlackMagic, I got write errors. The write speed is dismal (~10MB/s), but the read speed is around 380MB/s.

I disassembled it, cleaned the very small traces of oxydation I found with coton and iso alcool, but it didn't change a thing. Everything looks perfect inside right now, but it doesn't want to write.

Any idea?
