So basically my PC randomly decided to shut down one day. After it shut down it took 10 mins to boot up and once it finally boot up I realized that my HDD was not being detected anymore. Im currently using a Dell G7 7588 laptop on the latest version of windows 10. My OS is installed on a m.2 ssd so most of my stuff loaded, except for this hdd data. This was also a new hdd that i've only been using for about a week. Any idea on what happened to my hdd and how I can fix it?

This is the hdd that failed: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H2F3741/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Does it show in the bios? What about in disk management?

Can you hear it spinning? Have you tried reinstalling it?

Ok so it seems to be spinning. I put it in my external case and plugged it in after the windows boot. Turns out it works for about 2 minutes and then it disappears from the file explorer. When it turned on I saw all my files there so my information is still there, but it is not being seen in the device manager.
