960GB Ultra II SSD dissapeared from BIOS

As Drlucky said. Best option is to test it on a second PC as an internal and external drive. if it doesn’t work then the drive has failed.

This is a pretty common problem in most SSD drives and when you get a replacement test it as an external medium for a while and update firmware.
