I have a Trascend SSD 6GB/s 128GB bought two years ago. Just a few weeks ago it didn't boot to Windows no matter how many times I tried. Finally
I tried different SATA cables and different power connectors. I also put it onto an external HDD case. At the end of the day, BIOS didn't show the drive,
Windows PE didn't show the drive. Put to an external HDD case on another computer, as an external storage. The drive wasn't seen in My Computer.
CrystalDiskInfo didn't show the drive too.
I think it was hardware failure. However, I did never drop or hit this SSD drive, and always handled with care. What is the reason for it to fail so quickly, while my other older spinning drives still going strong?
I confess that the SDD was only mounted to my PC chassis but I did never clean out the dust inside the chassis in the last two years. Two years ago I cleaned it. Was it the reason? Could dust
(when good amount) harm the drive or other computer hardware?
