My SSD Just Broke

[Sam_163]

Last night i turned off my pc, but it was weird normally the pc shuts down then all the fans stop spinning about a minute or so later, this time the fans stopped spinning at the same time as the pc shut down, i thought nothing of it and went to sleep. I woke up this morning and tried to boot my pc only for it to keep sending me into the bios everytime i turn it on i then looked at my sata devices only for my ssd (my boot device) to not appear, even with my hard drive still appearing fine. I have tried reseating cables changing sata ports, changing sata cables and changing sata power cables as well as using the sata and power cables that worked on my hard drive but nothing makes the drive reappear in the bios and make the pc boot I have also tried removing the hdd and just leaving the ssd running and running windows repair with that also telling me my ssd doesn't exist.

Hey there, Sam.

It really sounds like the drive might have failed. The only thing left for you to try is to connect it to a different computer, to see if it pops-up. If it's recognized, download an SSD diagnostic tool and test it for errors. If it's not recognized, try to RMA it if it's still under warranty.

Hope that helps.
