SSD died after trying to install game.

[Mike Messiah]

My Specs

• Ryzen 5 1500x, 16GB RAM, Windows 10 latest,
• 1x 128GB Adata SATA SSD (C:\ windows installation drive)
• 1x 512GB Adata NVMe SSD (D:\ game drive which disappeared)
• 1x 1GB HDD (E:\ and F:\ )

I was installing a game, went AFK, and when i came back my windows explorer was frozen, with game installation progress at 62.1%I was forced to Restart. When my PC restarted my NVMe SSD was no longer visible. When i check DiskMgmt, it seems to have become Disk1 Partition 2 (Healthy Recovery Partition).

This SSD doesnt show up in my BIOS. However when i check Device Manager it shows that my NVM Express Controller has issues

How do i recover my SSD? When i right click it, all i get is "Help" which leads me to a Microsoft site that doesn't help in anything.

this is basically how a SSD dies.

i had a corsair MP600 for example that died within one second.
i was on youtube, PC Froze completely and the SSD never appeared again in the bios, in an USB enclosure or in another PC.

Looks like you used all the available space on the SSD leaving no spare space for over provision.

Once the drive is full and a block dies, it has no way to save itself by swapping a free block in for the dead one.

So it dies, if it had some blocks free to swap in for dead blocks it might not have died.

I have done this twice by accident myself, same ending each time.
