with your drives, you may lose data as a result. Always handle
storage devices with caution. Make sure that you’re properly
grounded by wearing an anti-static strap when you install any
computer component. If an anti-static strap isn’t available, touch a
large grounded metal surface for several seconds to discharge any
built-up static electricity.
