    [SOLVED] Dead Hard disk spinning and getting detected occasionally ?

    I would suggest you first copy and retrieve the entire HDD data before using it or tying to correct it any more, if the HDD somehow fails, or becomes dead, retrieval of its data would be very risky, there is a possibility that you may not be able to retrieve its data at all - if it becomes dead...

    Question My SSD M2 is not detected by my computer or bios

    Besides other suggestions, also make sure that you have bought a SSD whose interface is compatible to your PC. Note: a SATA SSD will have M+B Keys edge but a PCIe NVMe SSD will have only M Key edge - while they (NVMe SSDs) are much faster than a SATA SSD. And since you have bought a...

    Question The BMAX B1 Mini PC did not detect Transcend 256GB NVMe M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3x4 SSD

    Update & Conclusion: Finally the seller confirmed me that said PC indeed requires an M.2 2280 SATA SSD but they did not clarify if a SATA (B+M Keys edged) SSD would fit into the M.2 2280 SSD socket in the PC - appears to having a groove for M Key edged SSD.

    Question The BMAX B1 Mini PC did not detect Transcend 256GB NVMe M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3x4 SSD

    I thank you for your valuable reply. Your reply suggest me that instead of the M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe SSD rather I may try a new M.2 2280 SATA SSD that somehow I need to arrange first. And yes, there were several interactions between me and the PC seller banggood.com (including its technical team)...

    Question The BMAX B1 Mini PC did not detect Transcend 256GB NVMe M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3x4 SSD

    So does it (your reply) either mean, (i) If I replace the M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD to a M.2 SATA SSD and force insert that M.2 2280 SATA SSD to the M Key Socket then the PC may detect the SSD? Or esle, (ii) is there M Keyed PCIe SSD (without NVMe Support) and that supports SATA flavour too?

    Question The BMAX B1 Mini PC did not detect Transcend 256GB NVMe M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3x4 SSD

    M.2 2280 SATA SSD won't fit into the PC socket. Nor a M Key SSD have SATA Interface. I have explained this my my above post.

    Question The BMAX B1 Mini PC did not detect Transcend 256GB NVMe M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3x4 SSD

    The product specification of the PC mentions "Solid State Disk: Support 1* M.2 2280 SSD." And the Package List mentions 1 x SATA cable. However, the receipt package of the order specifically did not contain a SATA cable rather it contained a HDMI Cable in place of said SATA cable. Since, M.2...
