I think my PCI Express SSD is failing. I have a OCZ Storage Solutions RevoDrive 3 Series 480GB PCI-Express SSD as my primary hard drive and two 2TB Seagate Desktop HDD ST2000DM001 2TB. Recently I have been getting errors where it says there is no hard drive connected. This error only happens when my computers is left on and idle for more than an hour. I have not had this error on startup or while using the computer. I have checked the connection and it is secure. The SSD is over 6 years old. Is this a sign of a hard drive failure?

It very well could be failing. You may also want to check to see if power management is set for it to power down when idle. As it isn't a spinner, I'd probably set it to stay on and see if that improves things. Of course, make sure that everything on it is 100% backed up.
