I doubt u shorted it out, there's only small voltage going to the drives. Anyway you can send it to a specialist recovery company who can recover the bytes directly of the platters if want. All is not lost....
Im pretty sure i did, somehow i heard a sharp crackle sound and a burning smell which came from the 4 power connector pins when i switched the power switch on. I can't boot up with that drive in now. The cpu fan spins for a second then cuts out.
What i did was.. Connected the male end of the molex connector into the female end..the wrong way round. How retarded is that? Only I could pull something like that off.
