Hello, I have an Asus ROG G501JW with an SM951 SSD(MZHPV512HDGL). About a year ago, it would sometimes boot to bios. Slowly it started to boot to bios more and more until it would no longer boot to Windows. I sent it in to Asus and they fixed it. A couple weeks ago it started to doing the same thing. Again, it would no longer boot to Windows. I sent it into Asus but it was out of warranty and they wanted to charge me $690, claiming it was an ssd issue but I thought that was too much so I had them send it back unrepaired. After receiving it back from them it mostly boots to Windows. So, does anyone know the easiest way to fix this? Could it just be that the C drive is bad and I could clone Windows to the D drive or should I just buy and install a new ssd? Thanks for any help!

Seems like a weird subject. I have an MZHPV512HDGL - 00000 and a firmware of BXW2500Q. So I think I have the latest? Samsung Magician does not work for this ssd.

**edit. Wait actually I think it can be updated to BXW2700Q but cannot find it online. What do you expect this to fix by the way?
