[SOLVED] Can M2 ssd fail ? Well it's a Chinese one

[Crazycreator]

Hi Everyone,

Need a bit of help regarding my Reinno M2 ssd (512GB) which I bought almost years back from Aliexpress. It was running perfectly fine till day before yesterday when a power cut occurred in my area and unfortunately my ups backup was very low which led to instant Shut-down of Windows. After power came back. I restarted the pc but it didn't boot properly and found that my entire SSD was lost. I was unable to view any of it's traces in neither my Bios menu nor Disk management. I tried every possible setting inside my BIOS to detect my ssd . But no use. So came to conclusion that I have to take a new m2 ssd because it is faster and I should not believe on Chinese SSDs. Currently I have installed Windows on my HDD which is very slow. Now I have multiple questions in my mind before investing to a new one.

1. If my SSD has been failed , is there anyway to recover data from it
2. Is there any chances my motherboard does not detect M2 and the port is faulty. How to check
3. Is there anyway I can fix it now

My system configuration is as follows;
Core i7 7700
Gigabyte B150m-D3H motherbaord
32 Gbs ram
1060GTX gfx card
2 TB WD HDD
Reinno M2 ssd( which seems to have failed)

my last hope are you guys, hoping to get a great suggestion. Thanks

Can drives fail?

No...the question is - When will it fail?
All storage devices can fail at anytime. Eventually, all of them.
If you buy some junk brand, that eventuality may come earlier.

And as for 2nd question, can the slot fail, yes it can and you can only test it with a working m.2 ssd.

All things fail given time.
Plan for the worst and hope for the best.

If you have any important data/files then please make sure you have extra copies of them stored on other devices.
