I'm building my system and started testing my drives. When I got to the badblocks test on my last drive (all WD Reds, 6 tb) I got nothing but errors. I opened the case and saw that somehow it's SATA cable had been pulled downward and was at a 45 degree angle. The whole L-shaped plastic flange had broken off and was in the cable connector. Damn! I went ahead and ordered a replacement drive.
It seems such a waste. Does it make sense to try to epoxy or superglue the flange back to the logic board so it could at least be a spare? Has anyone had this happen and repaired their connector? Sure wish I broke a cheaper part!
