[xiaosinsinful]

Suddenly it seem like my ssd crashed or something and cannot be detected as it was my boot drive I can't even get into windows. Tried to change Sata cables but to no avail. Anyone got any solution?

Any other devices available (laptops, etc) that u can plug the SSD into and test see if it shows up as a secondary storage drive?

Do a power cycle, copy and pasted from online:

1: Attach the SSD to power but do not attach the SATA cable.
2: Turn the computer on and let it sit for 30 minutes.
3: Power off
4: repeat 1-3
5: Attach the SATA cable and power on.
6: if it works you must update the microcode to 000f. There is a bug that causes random errors after 5,100ish hours of use.
7: if not RMA your drive.

Latest update:I tried to exchange the Sata and power from my hdd (which is detected) but ssd don't show up. Then I plug both of them back and after a few restarts suddenly it booted. Any ideas is it my Sata cables, power or ssd problem?

M4?
If there is a non-proper shutdown (like power cable suddenly unplugged), M4 will take a while to do a internal cleanup before the drive is online.

LOL.. man youre good. i think after a late night gaming session i shut down or something then blue screen pop up for some reason then i got frustrated and just switch it off. so m4 will crash if this happen??

mine was power off before windows shut down. And it cant detect the next time, not even as a external storage. Had to send for RMA

So from then onwards, I waited for 5 sec to ensure a complete windows shut down
