Background
In 2014 I built my first computer with my first SSD. This has been my main machine and I leave it on a lot as it also acts as my media server. I bought the SSD knowing that they don't age well, so I've been lowkey dreading this happening.
Over the past several months I find my computer won't boot into the SSD, saying that I need to insert a bootable drive. I go into the BIOS and it doesn't recognize the SSD (but it recognizes my HDD and DVD drives). I swap sata cables around and eventually I can boot into the drive.
Over the weekend, I discovered that this "fix" doesn't work anymore. I'm stuck at "insert a bootable drive" screen and the BIOS doesn't recognize the SSD.
Question
Are these signs of a dead SSD?
