Ok so I have a crucial m4 256gb ssd as my main drive. It's been working great for at least a year now, maybe longer...without any issues. I really can't remember when I bought the drive.
Anyway, last night I decided it would be a good idea to upgrade the firmware on it from 04 to 070h. It upgraded without any issues. I rebooted a few times throughout the night for different tasks and playing with some overclocking etc.
I woke up this morning and the pc went straight to bios, wouldn't recognize my ssd. I loaded bios defaults, no luck. I swapped sata connectors from my hard drive to my ssd, no luck. I played around with different bios settings no luck.
So I said darn, my drive is dead. So I swapped my bios to IDE mode so I could get into my hard drive os or put one on it if I deleted it off of it lol. Anyway, I put it in IDE mode instead of AHCI, I went back into the bios and it recognized both drives randomly...So I swapped back to AHCI, set the 256gb as my boot drive like normal and here we are with it working.
Is this a sign my drive is failing? I think just to be safe I am going to order either a m.2 ssd, nvme drive, or an 850 pro.
With this being said, I am currently on the asus maximus vii hero with a 4790k. I believe I read somewhere that the asus maximus vii hero wouldn't be able to fully use it's m.2 port. Is this true?
Any help/idea's would be appreciated. The firmware update was successful last night, had zero issues and then this morning nothing but issues.
