Question SSD is not initializing/not showing up

[Erazor7]

I got an SSD from a friend after it suddenly stopped working. I have now connected it to my PC via a USB SATA adapter, it doesn't appear at all in Windows Explorer and the disk management sometimes shows the hard drive as not initialized and then not at all. The hard drive has no visible damage.

Either bad adapter/bad power delivery to drive or bad drive.

Yes, one has an external power supply the other one doesn't but both have the same effect.
