SSD randomly stops being detected

[Milky Karcher]

I have a patriot p300 128gb as my boot drive in my aorus b450 elite its the second time it did this, i was transfering music to my ipod and the apps on the ssd froze i re booted and it wasnt detected. I reseated the drive and cleared cmos and it worked it previously happened to me when i was switching my psu to a newer unit. Both slots on the mb seem to work however this issue seems worrying.

ok.

It seems likely that your ssd is physically dying. I would copy off the important files and buy a new one.

well, it seems like you have gotten bad luck in the silicon lottery. Unless your ssd is getting out of the slot because it wasn't secured, it's likely dying.

It was probably loose because im kinda afraid of breaking stuff after i striped a screw in my case
