I believe my intel 510 may have failed.

The intel 510 on my laptop spontaneously stopped working one day, and would not boot. When i took it out and tested it on another computer, Disk management shows it as *Unallocated* and *Not Initialized*. Attempting to enable the drive does not work as i get a cyclic redundancy error. Is this drive just completely dead now? Strangely my last intel 510, which the current drive came as a replacement to died gradually over a week or so while this one was instant.

Any hope or is the drive dead for good?

Unfortunately the toolbox does not seem to detect the drive. According to command prompt, my drive has no active partitions anymore for some reason.
