Whew! You lucked out....

It's good to check on those old HDD and SSD now and then that have been sitting on a shelf.

One of my first SSD's many years ago was a 128GB unit. I later upgraded to 512GB and placed the 128GB SSD in a drawer. When I went back to the 128GB SSD a couple years later to see what I had on it, it was toast. I couldn't access that SSD at all. SSD's in particular are not something you store away for a prolonged period of time w/o ever powering them ON. They WILL lose their data. HDD's are actually better in this regard.
