About two years ago my hard drive lit on fire. Oddly I was working on my new mix tape to give to my bae.

It was an external sata connector built into the top of my case. I used it a lot for swappable backup drive and I believe the connector failed. Was right when I was heading off for bed and my smoke alarm goes off.

Damn! I've never seen a hard drive catch on fire. I'll keep that in mind looking at cases. Seems like a short occured in the pin connections or something like that.

Glad your smoke detector got your attention.
