Windows Explorer hangs trying to access SSD.
Head to Disk Management, take ages to show up, listed as not initialized and fails to be after a while, or I try to plug in later, have DM opened, it shows with it's 2 partitions but still hangs the programs.
Is the drive toast, or is there some Jedi magic able to be performed?

Are you wanting to get data off, or are you wanting to use it again?

To get data off, you might have better luck trying to get a disk image with ddrescue on linux. Probably a lot less background activity with Linux. If SSDs are like spinning drives (which ok, mostly they're not), you might have a better time pulling an image, because sequential reads can be easier than the all over the place reads from reading through the filesystem.

If you just want it to be useful, and you don't need the current data, you might convince it to be useful again with like a full disk trim and let it sit for a while plugged in but not accessing it. If you're lucky, it'll either fail right away or work good for a long time; if you're not so lucky, it'll work ok again for a while, then poop out again.
 
Naw, I guess'd it was dead, just double checking since this was the 1st time a SSD crapped out on me.
It's a 256GB AMOG, Golden Memory drive that came with my Elitedesk with a fresh factory 11 Pro install, already swapped it with a 512GB Patriot.
Gotta hit HP for the drivers now.......

Click to expand...
on that hp id just install whatever windows update is offering, check under optional updates too. it should pick up everything.
 
How old was that drive? How much use did it see? What was its drive health before these problems started?
