SSD might be failing

[RyanGSams]

I bought a Crucial m4 SSD from the For sale forum last December. I work up this morning and my computer said to pick a drive to reboot. I just turned the computer and back on and it booted fine. I left the house and came back and the same screen came up. All that is on my SSD is my Windows 8 os. I am not very good with working with SSD and am new to them so I want your input on whether you think it is failing. I am hoping it is still under warranty if thats the case.

Thanks

I would download the latest firmware on it first:

Older firmwares have known bugs that could cause it to appear that it's dead.

What firmware are you running?

Before doing anything back up your data.
SSD deaths often result in being completely unusable.

It may be a bad connection, try different cables and a different SATA port.
Check the firmware updates to see if this problem is addressed.
