Hey there Riley Smuff,
 
Are the drives recognized in BIOS, Device Manager or Disk Management? Did yo connect the proper cables? I would try each of them separately with different SATA and USB cables on different internal and external ports and possibly on another computer. If the drives get detected I would run a diagnostic utility from the manufacturer and check their health. If they don't get detected they have most probably failed.

Unfortunatly this is a downside for SSD when compared to HHD, when a SSD is dead its dead nothing u can do, u can either chuck the SSD in the bin or on the face of the person who sold it to u lol (jks) the only thing i can think of is to change ur cable and usb/sata port on the comp and try again.

 

Also I'm interested in why SSDs are making high pitched noises... as there is no moving part in a SSD

I'd try each of the drives on another computer and see if the result is different. If not - I would think the drives have failed. If they do work properly and their S.M.A.R.T. status is good, I would think that the problem is either with the SATA ports or the SATA controller.
