SSD wiped out itself??

I got home from work and fired up my PC, got an MBR  Error, did my best to troubleshoot it, end up taking the SSD and slaving it to my other PC and to my surprise the entire SSD was wiped clean. I have been working as an IT for 6-7 years now and I haven't come across anything like it.  Luckily my SSD serves as a boot drive, spent the entire night re-installing windows, drivers and game launchers. 

 

Has anyone had the same experience?

Wiped clean, or just the partition-table missing? Two entirely different things.

The drive has not been wiped out, it's just the partition table corrupted, the data is there if you want to save it.

The cause could be anything from bad cables to drive failure.

From now on if you still wanna use the drive don't make it store important files.

I had this kind of problem with my sdcard, wipe-reformat it's running again, until it finally died on the 3rd occurrence.

Maybe it's a sign of the drive failing.
