Question Did my M2 drive really fry that easily??

[oakfox]

So I was recently plugging in a peripheral to my surge protector, and managed to jiggle the PC's power cord in and out badly, causing the PC to stutter on/off rapidly. I quickly shut everything down and got it plugged in better.

Upon boot, my m.2 NVME drive (C is not detected in BIOS. Direct correlation seems pretty obvious, but I just bought the damn thing on May 2nd so I'm trying to see if there's any course of action to confirm it's fried.

I've reset CMOS, tried the drive in the other m.2 port (ASRock B450 Fat1lity), unhooked all other storage devices, and reset UEFI settings from windows installer. Windows Installer cannot see the drive either (just figured I'd check).

Thanks for your help!

Leave the pc powered on for a few hours. Some SSD's drop offline when their internal tables corrupt and need time to rebuild. And the power thingy could certainly cause that. I'm glad you didn't have an HDD issues as well.
