Earlier I was installing a steam game on my 2nd SSD and I left the room, nothing weird happened in this time, no power outages or surges. I come back to my PC and its back on the lock screen, So I unlock it to see if my game installed and my SSD no longer shows up on Windows but shows up in my bios, I have had this PC for a few years and have no idea what happened, I have a lot of stuff on the 2nd SSD.
#SSD Gone randomly

I'm guessing cable/connection came loose and reseating helped. Vibration does that sometimes, from fans or hdds.
twin kindle
yeah thats possible, It had a bunch of steam games on it that I gotta fix now, verifying integrity and such
zealous marsh
I don't think your steam install had anything to do with the issue, it just happened while you were installing stuff.
twin kindle
yeah I dont think it was Steam I just gotta go through the games that are on it and see if I need to fix any or all

The other one is on the bottom one
Dang. I am super surprised this SSD did this, it really only had games on it but it's still annoying I need a new one
twin kindle
try a different m.2 slot if possible
