SSD's randomly shut off

I have had this problem for a couple months now and cant find a way to fix it.

2 of my ssd's just randomly shut off. Its not consistent, sometimes I can go for hours without it happening and sometimes it happens after 10 minutes from when I boot up my pc.

If i try to restart my pc it just throws me into BIOS and the ssd's arent detected. Only after i completely turn off my pc they turn on again.

Its getting really frustrating trying to play games installed on those ssd's and losing progress because of this problem.

Hopefully some1 can help me. Thanks!

How are your SSDs connected ? Are they 2,5" Sata drives, or m.2 SATA / NVMe or even via USB ?

2,5 Sata

Back them up,it's possible that they are failing.

Did you buy them at the same time?

Are they the same model?

Sorry, its actually just 1 SSD divided into 2 parts i just realised. I got this pc from my relative and it had worked just fine before i got it. The SSD failing is a Samsung SSD 860 EVO 2TB. My C drive and a smaller 120Gb ssd are working just fine.

I recommend to back it up to another drive.
