Did my M.2 SSD just died?

OGKustosz · 31 Jul 2021 at 04:41

Hello, ive built a new PC about 4 months ago. MSI X570 TOMAHAWK and two M.2 SSD drives, Samsung 980 pro 500gb on slot 1, and Sabrent Rocket 4 1TB 2280 on slot 2, Windows 10, all drivers up to date (i think so). Sabrent disk just stopped working when i tried to update tarkov, windows does not see it anymore, BIOS too. Should i try to swap disks on m2 slots and see if it will work? Its either drivers problem, disk died or M.2 slot on motherboard? I attach screenshots of windows logs and device manager, disk manager. Maybe someone will have an idea what could happen and what should i do, thank you.

If bios doesn't see it then it's probably dead

BIOS should always recognize functional drive.

Though just to be sure detach and re-attach drive to try to remove chance of not good enough contact in M.2 slot's connection.

Its dead, swapping it on another slot did not help, bios still not showing it. Thank you for help guys.

Trying in another PC would be final confirmation.
But guess that drive got Killed In Action.
