I currently have 3 hard drives in my system, two SSDs and a HDD. I installed the second SSD about 3 weeks ago and my computer has been working fine since. However, I turn it on today and get taken straight into BIOS, and I see that my first SSD, which contains Windows 10, is not being detected, while my other drives are. I tried using different SATA connectors and power connectors to the SSD, as well as plugging the SATA cables into different ports on my motherboard, but still no success. Do I have hard drive failure? I bought this PC pre-built almost 2 years ago and have replaced everything within it except for the drives. I want to know if there's anything else I can do before I have to boot from a USB and reinstall windows on another drive.

see if vendor has firmware tool to see if it sees the drive. some of the older ssd and firmware bugs that caused them to die like yours. if the drive not seen by vendor test tools it dead.
