Details Upfront
Asus P8P67 V Pro
I5 2500k (not overclocked currently in progress of restoring)
GTX 580 3GB (possibly selling soon :)  )
Intel 120GB ssd 320 Series (Boot)
OCZ Agility 3 120GB SSD (2nd drive for games only with misc game files; currently failing drive)
WD 2TB HDD (Storage etc.)
1200 Corsair PSU
Windows 7 64 bit Professional


I have OCZ SSD I'm mentioning in the top of this post that is currently not showing on my PC presently after a sudden power failure at me household.

PC at time was NOT connected to the internet and was in the middle of a game of Arkham City through Origin when a power failure at my house shut it off. Afterwards the power restored but my SSD was no where to be found under Computer, Device manager, or even the BIOS. Have unplugged from drive and plugged back in with no avail. Have yet to switch SATA ports or do a "Power Cycle" but Im fearing a dead drive.

Opinions or advice is sorely needed....Thank you

Any chance that it's still under warranty? If so, do an immediate RMA.

Does it show up in disk management at all? Definitely, try another SATA port too.

No it does not show up in manager.

Update also I unplugged the SATA and switched and NOW my PC will not power on :fou: 

It has done it twice now and both times I switched it back and waited. First time didn't take that long to boot back up but now it seems to be taking longer???

Please anyone? Thank you for your responses

If you can get a computer to boot with it attached, try THIS OCZ Toolbox to do a secure erase. If that doesn't help, I would RMA it.
