Failing m.2 drive?

Hi everyone, I use a Samsung 970 Evo 1TB drive for my games, and recently Forza has been crashing. Initially I thought it was bad drivers, as there were a lot of people on the Forza subreddit complaining about crashes. However when I looked at the event viewer error code today, I saw that it was hard drive related. Then I realised I couldn't access the drive, nor was it recognised by Samsung Magician or CrystalDiskInfo. I've already formatted the drive before, so is it just the drive that is failing? Thanks

You can check the health of your drives. CrystalDiskInfo works good.

Yeah that's the problem. It won't even show up once the game crashes. Suddenly the drive can't be accessed too. Only starts working again on restart, but happens once the game crashes.

You could try to reseat it, maybe bad connection. Or it's overheating and turning off.

Thanks! I'll try that. But if that doesn't work, it's probably the drive?
