Dead OCZ Agility 3

[bunkx]

I've had this drive lying around for a little while and haven't tried reviving it since it seemingly died. It used to be in my old MacBook Pro 13" (non-retina) but that just decided to go poof one day and I just abandoned it. However, I could use some extra SSD storage and wanted to know if I could somehow revive this old SSD. I'm not sure if the NAND just reached the end of its life span and quit or there's something else going on here.

 

No matter what I connect it to, no machine will recognize the drive. Not in the OS, not in BIOS/UEFI either. Any tips on reviving an old OCZ Agility 3 drive?

Sounds dead bro. On the flip side decent capacity storage is pretty cheap these days. If your not trying to be on the bleeding edge (IE Samsung M.2).

Next to no chance in repairing a dead SSD.

Best to use it as a cup coaster and buy a new SSD.
