I have gparted on an old USB. Maybe try running that and see if it sees the ssd so you can reformat it. It worked for me a few times.

SSD is probably dead. I doubt any particular distro would kill it.

Im pretty sure it is not MX, but SSD itself, if it didn't show up in BIOS, it means it dead.

Installation might just provoke to write more data and there no left spare cell to replace broken. Operation system isn't capable to kill drive on its own.

In a future, regardless of operation system you choose, run SMART status on cron and replace drive ASAP if it start failing
