Some time ago, I started having trouble with my Intel 330 60GB SSD that I was using as a cache drive with Intel's "Smart Response Technology". After working fine for a few years, the system would not boot with the SSD attached to the 1st SATA III port. After some trial and error, I discovered that it worked fine if I plugged it into the 2nd SATA III port. Other drives worked fine when plugged into the 1st SATA port.
Fast forward a year, and now my PC won't recognize the SSD at all. Even the Intel SSD Toolbox can't detect the SSD. I was changing some SATA (boot order and RAID/AHCI mode) settings in the BIOS when it happened, but so far I've been unable to determine if anything I changed caused the problem. Any suggestions for restoring the SSD? Even if I can get it working again, should I trust it?
