Question SSD Not Detected in Bios

[drandy2019]

I have this SSD (Samsung 870 EVO) for a couple of years. Suddenly last night it stopped working. In the Bios it doesn't show up.
I have the Asus Gryphon Z87. In the SATA Configuration, it shows up as Empty. If I boot to Windows I can see the drive and it's drive letter, but cannot open it.
So, now having this SSD plugged in makes Windows run slow. In the device manager I can see the SSD drive. If I try to open disk management it doesn't load and stays like that forever. If I unplug the SSD then everything starts to run smoothly and fast. Any idea what I can do? I have some documents in that SSD that I would like to recover.

Update:
Install a program called Intel Rapid Storage Technology.
It shows the SSD that is causing issues.
Port 1
Status: Normal
Type: SATA solid-state drive
Usage: Available

I would secure erase the problem drive, but that will delete your documents. Either grab them from your backup or if you have none, start a good backup procedure for the future.

Can you retrieve a SMART report?

Try a different SATA data cable?

I did that and also used a different SATA port, but same issue.

Then, the drive may well be dead.

This is what backups are for.

Yes, it may seem that. Thanks for the information.

The SMART data live in the reserved System Area (SA). An inability to access this area points to a firmware fault or bad NAND, most probably the latter.
