Why isn't my Samsung 990 Pro drive showing up anywhere?

Hi everyone! I booted up my PC today and one of my drives, the Samsung 990 Pro, is not showing up at all. It's not visible in Samsung Magician, device manager, file manager, storage spaces, or even the BIOS. This drive is super important to me because it contains all my work files, including images and videos. I'm really worried it might be dead. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can locate it?

Did you check disk management to see if itโ€™s detected there? Sometimes the drive may not show up in the usual places but can be seen in disk management.

Try this method I found that helped me a while back! If it doesnโ€™t show in the BIOS, you should swap the drive into a different slot. If you still can't find it, I can share a link with a detailed guide.

Have you checked the BIOS to see if the drive appears there? If not, you might want to try switching it to a different M.2 slot to see if that helps.
