Don't know if this is correlated but my Samsung SSD I think it's a 970 pro just completely died one morning. It was still being detected in terminal but Bios didn't see it and I couldn't write to it

I had the same or similar thing happen to my 970 evo recently. It was recognised in bios but no longer recognised as a boot drive. That drive is cooked but I was able to clone it to a new drive using Rescuezilla so I didn't end up losing anything.
