I was troubleshooting my pc because it wouldn't power on and when I fixed it, one of my m.2 SSDs was gone from file explorer. I opened disk management and clicked "reactivate drive" on it and then it told me I needed to format the drive in order to use it. 
I haven't formatted it, but is there any way to recover the data from the drive?

Sadly, one disadvantage of SSDs is, when they go wonky, the data is usually unrecoverable. However, sometimes a file table may get messed up or the controller chip may south without messing up the data but don't count on it. The best way to ensure you don't lose anything on any driv e is to keep it backed up.

As long as anyone is oppressed, no one will be safe and free.

One has to be proactive, not reactive, to ensure the safety of one's data so backup your data! And RAID is NOT a backup!
