Question SSD Dead or Fixable?

[SamVH]

Hello all,

I have an Asus Predator, Helios 300, which I've owned for around 16 months now. In the recent few months, my 'D Drive' (SSD 1TB) has had some issues.

This is from game files being corrupt when on my laptop, and corrupt files while being downloaded. I've factory reset my laptop a few times which normally fixes the issues.

This time, I wasn't able to download anything onto the D drive. I couldn't work out why, as when I scanned the Driver, everything came out as fine, so I put it down to Origin or Steam acting up. Now all of a sudden, my D Drive doesn't show up anywhere on my laptop. After putting my laptop to sleep, I open the laptop up and get a message regarding the D drive. It's back?! This only lasted about 30 seconds before losing it again.

I tried running the Disk Management when the Driver was back, but nothing loaded until the D drive disappeared. I've not dropped or moved my laptop in a way that could cause it to be loose or disconnected.

Any suggestions on what's wrong?

Question - Data recovery or physical drive recovery?

For the physical drive, is it still under warranty?

For the game files - Can you just download them to a new device?

I guess physical drive recovery? I'm not too worried what on the Drivers as I only use my laptop for gaming.

The warranty is void I believe.

And my C drive works but is only 237GB which can only hold 2/3 games on it.

Run a SMART test Using Hard disk sentinel Software... it will sate the health and Shows any "BAD SECTORS"

I tried running it, but every time I open my laptop up, the driver is there... then by the time any program loads up, the driver has disappeared again.
