Hard drive crash during game. Not being recognized by Windows anymore.

I’m having an issue with a SSD installed in my PC as a secondary hard drive. Earlier today I was playing The Division 2 when the game froze. After force closing the game I attempted to relaunch it through Uplay and noticed the game was missing from the ‘installed’ list of games in my library. I opened up file explorer and noticed that the entire drive was missing. I also checked 

disk manager and it’s not appearing there as well.

 

I restarted my PC a few times and the drive still isn’t showing up. I opened up the BIOS and that hard drive slot no longer lists the drive as a Crucial MX500, but as “IBA GE Slot 0600 v1562”. My motherboard is a Gigabyte Z370N WiFi.

 

Anyone have any idea on what I could do to get this drive to be regonized? Or is the drive dead and I’m SOL?

 

Thanks.

It probably died. It is RMA time.

But if you want to be sure try a different sata slot with a different sata cable.
