Question 2 drives disappeared in a day - Mobo issue or unlucky?

[MarkChia]

I've been running a small Minecraft server for friends on my Nvme ssd(HP ex900 1tb) for about a month now, and 2 days ago I woke up to find that my drive had disappeared. So I reseated it, and it appeared in read only mode. I managed to backup a few folders before it started saying something like "the device could not be specified" when trying to copy or open files. So I tried moving it to a different m2 slot, and when I rebooted, I noticed not only was the nvme drive not there but my HDD had disappeared as well, Neither of them show up in bios either. I reseated both, checked all cables and dusted out my pc to no avail. Neither of them were in particularly bad shape afaik - the nvme only had around 12tb written and the HDD had around 22k power on hours. Initially thought it was just a faulty ssd but now I'm thinking it could be a mobo issue. Thoughts?

Well, the only way to test them out really is to pull them and hook them up as externals to another system (or physically install them).
You have to compare unknowns to knowns.
So take your drives out (which you don't know if they're good or bad) and put them into a system you KNOW to be working.
That'll tell you if they're good...or bad.
