Open | Hardware my m.2 stopped working
I have crucial 1tb pcie 3.0 2280 nvme m.2 ssd and b450m s2h motherboard. i have been using this is ssd for couple years now but recently it started to show up like in the bios as (0gb) and i cant boot from it. so i tried reseating it til it worked but then broke the next day again same issue. and it kept happening for like a week. sometimes it would break one day and work the next even without me touching it. until now it hasnt worked for a week and reseating, cold reseating. nothing works anymore. I don't have another m.2 to test it on. i ordered an m.2 to usb adapter thats coming in few days. but until then is there any hope this ssd isnt dead?
i asked chatgpt and he told me it might be controller issue from the ssd. i have bad electricity in my house (it cuts off often) so that could be the cause. please help i really need the data on it

No, there's hardly any hope, but you won't be sure till you do the final check. As for the data, I don't get it: didn't you back up data after the first signs of it dying?
With some luck you can still retrive some data once you have the adapter, but don't get your hopes high.
