Hello,
Today my main SSD corrupted. It no longer shows its full name in the BIOS, but only a small code, and it doesn't boot (no bootable device found bios error), I took it out and put it in a device that converts it into a USB drive, and connected it to a laptop. In disk manager, it says the disk is unknown and not initialized, but when I try to initialize it as either MBR or GPT nothing happens. Disk manager is also showing 20MB of unallocated space, out of the 1TB the disk has. I've tried to do something with AOMEI and EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard but they feel a lot like viruses and constantly get stuck.
What can I do? Can the data be recovered? I don't have backups of quite a few files because I don't have any storage device capable of holding 1TB of data.
Thank you.
P.S. the "no bootable device" error appeared yesterday too, but after taking out the drive and checking it out on another computer all the files were there and no issues were reported, so I put it back in and it worked. I assumed it was an issue with the SATA cable connection, but apparently not.
P.P.S. Checking the disk with Gnome Disks app it says it's always asleep.
