My Intel SSD 520 Series 180Gb no longer defined in BIOS. I think the controller is dead, but i'm not sure. Is there any tools how i can test it?

Rewired,

We understand your SSD is no longer detected in BIOS and it could be a controller issue, for this situation, what we can recommend in this case is to try to plug the SSD through USB (as external drive) and check if it is detected or not.In case it does not work, we suggest you to please contact our https://customercare.intel.com/?lang=en-US&_ga=1.27966137.489526619.1471354533 support department.We will be waiting for your response.Regards,NC
