     After an unsafe removal, Windows might give some error/notification   
   message, but in most cases, the SSD should still be accessible and most   
   if not all of the data should still be there. As Paul mentions, most   
   filesystems have some kind of dirty/clean bit and if the bit is in the   
   dirty state after an unsafe removal, the OS will complain, but otherwise   
   work.

     Good.
