Samsung 960 evo dead again?

[BOK-one]

I recently bought a samsung 960 evo 250GB m.2 drive and after a week of use i came back to my computer one day and it would not boot even into the bios with the drive in the computer, i came to the conclusion that the ssd was dead and i had just gotten a bad one. I returned it to the retailer and they replaced it. Now not even 3 days later the same thing happened again.

Is this just bad luck or is this product just crap? should i get this replaced again with the same samsung ssd or something else.

i can see one drive die on you but not two new retail units. sounds like the m2 slot may be bad where it over volting the ssd and burning it out.

Hi,

This may not be relevant to the thread but I have tried everything i know but nothing seems to help me.

I got Samsung Evo 960 few days back and cloned my boot drive to it using Samsung Magician, to use on my Acer VN7 592g 767q. It worked for a day and after a BIOS update from Acer it wasn't recognized as the boot drive and in Windows as well when i booted laptop after the BIOS update. The SSD is recognized as a boot device it the BIOS but when I try to clean install Windows on it , its not recognized in the installation page or Disk Management in window and diskpart doesn't list it as a drive as well.
If anyone can help me to get it formatted while its in M.2 slot or can I rig up a SSD adapter and a PCIe riser from below to use as a external USB drive to get the SSD formatted or do you think its dead.
