Its too bad - there went my hope to see his character arc.

 

I have an SSD that stopped working on my PC 3 weeks ago, and have become confused after various attempts at troubleshooting.

I have two M.2 SSD slots with a drive in each, and when I swapped them around the faulty drive would not show up but my functional drive would still work fine. In both configurations the drive is not visible in windows via Disk Management or the Device Manager. Having just the faulty drive plugged into my PC simply lead to it booting into BIOS, where it was still undetected. I have attempted both SATA configuration settings from the BIOS, neither of which yield results. There is no visible damage to the drive or my M.2 SSD ports.

However, despite all this, the drive still functions when plugged into my friend's computer.

Would it be possible that the drive or my motherboard somehow received a driver update that made them incompatible? All of my drivers are currently considered up-to date by windows (afaik). I'm not sure what to do given that the drive works on another computer but not my own, but I don't want to risk losing my data.

It is a Western Digital SN580 2TB Solid State Drive, model WDS200T3B0E. My motherboard is a B450 Steel Legend, and the BIOS Version/Date is listed as "P3.40, 2020-06-04"

Any help would be appreciated, and thank you for your time

Well, why not? Any replacement power generation or transportstion systems will require construction and maintenence, just like any other project.

I like to think that it would be something similar to wonderbread - where once we removed all the nutrients from the white bread, we added in vitamins, except instead it would be large chewy pills.
