SSD Keeps Disapering

[kabouse123]

hey guys, so about a month ago a bought the silicon power s55 480gb ssd. and ever since i got the thing it will work from anywhere from 2min to 30min then will just disappear and i cant see it in the drive partition menu and cant read and write to it. i tried taking it out of the compute to let it rest and it worked a little longer but still does not work, i have also tried different ports on the mother board and didn't work, i also went as far as getting a new psu for my pc and it still dosent work!

Thank you in advance!

If you have a secondary computer or a USB to SATA adapter you could try it is there to see if you have different results. But I think your probably looking at a defective drive.

Did you try using CrystalDiskInfo? It will detect any errors/failures of the SSD. Otherwise you may be looking at a defective drive.

Is there any such function like power off the SSD after some period of time or some thing like that in settings (I'm not sure and just guessing). If not, then most likely is a defect drive.
