Hello, last night my computer blue screened and instantly shut off when the blue screen happened. I turned the computer back on and it booted into bios, I go to the boot order and I noticed that my SSD was not showing up under the boot order. I then tried to power cycle the SSD via plugging in the power but not the SATA and leaving it on for 30 mins. Did this two times and after that it still did not work. I ended up using a hard drive docking station to attempt to read the SSD. The SSD again did not show up anywhere while using the docker. My question is, is my SSD done for? And if so how will I go about recovering my files? Thanks!

It may be dead.
They do that sometimes. Not often, but sometimes.

How to 'recover the data'?
From the backup you made before this happened.

What make/model drive is it?
Oh yea I will for sure be using OneDrive or something of that sort from now on.... It is a Samsung 860 EVO 500GB
