EVO 820 M.2 not detected by BIOS

[LucasGI]

I have a M.2 SSD that I have been using for almost three months. This morning I went to boot my PC and it wouldn't boot to windows. After a while I determined that my M.2 SSD probably died. In BIOs I see all of my other HDDs and SSDs but not the M.2. Is it possible it is dead? Is there a way I can get the data off it?

I have tried using a different M.2 slot but got the same results. 

 

My motherboard is a Gigabyte Auros Z730 Gaming 3. Is it possible that this could be a motherboard issue?

Seems dead to me. Always backup!

if this is an NVMe SSD you could test it with the other M.2 slot

Sounds dead. You could certainly try it on another board though. Perhaps a friend has a computer that could read it or a laptop with a second M.2 slot. If it doesn't work there then there is no way to get data off other than paying incredible fees to a data recovery company, and if you do go that route make sure that they are able to recover data from SSDs, as it's usually a much more difficult process than with HDDs.

Sounds dead to me. I guess you could give it a go in another machine or slot, but I highly doubt it.
