[SOLVED] SSD suddenly won't boot, showing up empty

[devoats]

Ok I've had this SSD (SanDisk Ultra 3D 500gb) for a few months now, originally as a spare for my old computer build but last week I put together a brand new build and used this SSD as the primary/boot drive.

Worked absolutely fine for more than a week then today I go to boot and nothing. Bios knows it's there but no OS is being detected. Plugged in an old spare drive with my old OS and the computer boots just fine. While the drive is showing up in device manager it's not seen in Windows explorer.

I'm not sure what to do here, it's almost like it was totally wiped and no longer initialized. The SanDisk SSD dashboard says it's totally unallocated, health and SMART checks say it's fine.

Build:
Ryzen 7 3800x
Asus TUF gaming x570-plus
G.skill Ripjaws V series 32gb (2x16) ddr 4
SanDisk ultra 3D 500gb
Gigabyte GeForce rtx 2070 super
EVGA supernova G3 750w 80+ gold

What does Sandisk say about warranty replacement?

What does Sandisk say about warranty replacement?

Well I only bought it about 2 months ago so I'd imagine I could get a replacement however are you saying this drive is unrecoverable?

Sandisk and whatever tests they indicate is the best way to start.
Yes, it may well be unrecoverable. Even if you can recover (doubtful), you shouldn't trust it at all.

About a year ago I had a Sandisk die. Suddenly, and 100% unresponsive.
Even though it was 33 days past the 3 year warranty, they gave me a new one.

All data recovered from my nightly backup.

A dead drive should never involve loss of data.

I hate to go through the RMA process but yes this is very true. Not awful timing at least, luckily I just got a new hybrid drive...

Thanks for the input.
