Hello,
I've been struggling lately with one of my drives, it's a 1TB NVMe SSD I bought approximatively 2 years ago... and I wonder if anyone could help shed some light on this :
It worked fine until recently I started finding corrupted files and getting I/O errors especially when the drive capacity is nearing full. Today I had a persistent I/O error so I tried restarting the computer, which always solved the issue until now, but the drive no longer appears in the file explorer.
* On the disk management the drive appears as "unknown" with 2GB not initialized, but initializing it doesn't work (I tried several times).
* I tried removing it from the M.2 slot and plugging it back in 3 times = nothing
* I tried cleaning it with diskpart commands, the cleaning works but I'm unable to force activate it or assign letter or convert to GPT.
* I tried checking the storage spaces under control panel/ manage storage spaces = no pool or storage space is created there.
* I couldn't run chkdsk because there is no volume created on that drive, I don't know if it's possible to run it on a drive with no label or if that would even help...
* I checked the drivers, they're all up to date.
* In CrystalDiskInfo the drive still shows with 2.1 GB, good 100%, no temperature.
What actually puzzle me is when I check the drive on the device manager, it appears now with a different name "MN-5236" when i check its properties, device status shows "this device is working properly" and no sign of errors.
I'm wondering if there is anything else I haven't done yet that can help either investigate or solve this or should I just accept it's gone and get a new one...?
Let me know if any information is needed, I would reply as soon as i can.
Any help would be much appreciated.
In advance thank you.
