I was given a PNY brand SSD for a present about march this year. this last Thursday. the damn thing stopped working. As in on strike, took a dump on the bed. And Nothing I have done will get the F'n thing back to life.
Symptoms are that it doesn't show up in BIOS, Windows thinks it's a unformated drive, booting into Ubuntu to try to get the fucking to to just god damn work gives a million errors about nodes, and F'sync. And my hunch is the POS has died. Questions! Does thatis happen to SSD's? they'll just stop working, because, reasons? Family naturally wants do stuff with a warante not sure it's worth it if the fucker just died. I have tried unplugging cables, wiggling wobling and just about everything to get it back to life. On the off chance the bastard can be revived: is their software out their to force the god damn thing to work? windows https://ibb.co/TH2rvc0 <---this is what the fucking thing does now Expected behavior: a disk named Big Phun, with about 800gigs used as at slot I Actual Behavior: it ignored ElectroBoom and grabbed a bunch of wires, out for the count. My hunch is it's as dark matter. Follow up Qs Are SSDs just unreliable? Are old-school SATA drives better as far as not flying apart when hitting transwarp?
