Hi,
Since yesterday, I'm trying to figure out the issue that occurred with the data from my SSD.The device where I have the problem is usually not working on linux but windows10. As I failed to fix it from windows, I currently work on it from a flash usb linux mint.
Here is the problem :
After a win10 crash, I'm unable to find my SSD volume that is ment to be of 480GB. The OS was installed on it so I had to reinstall windows on an other HD that have no problem. The device itself is recognised by the BIOS, and even on disk manager and peripheries, I tried inverting SATA connections and the problem persists so I think its not a connection issue.
The disk manager on mint detects it as a 16kb HD, and says SMART is not supported. I cannot access to drive settings, as SMART Data & Self-Tests.
I tried to get more information installing smartmontools and libatasmart.
Here is what I get :
With libatasmart :
Code:
Device: sat16:/dev/sda
Type: 16 Byte SCSI ATA SAT Passthru
Size: 0 MiB
Model: [Sandisk Milpitas SSD]
Serial: []
Firmware: [0.00]
SMART Available: no
Quirks:

ATA SMART not supported.
With smartmontools :
Code:
Device Model: Sandisk Milpitas SSD

Firmware Version: 0.00
User Capacity: 16,384 bytes [16.3 KB]
Sector Size: 512 bytes logical/physical

ATA Version is: ATA/ATAPI-6 T13/1410D revision 1
Local Time is: Sat Nov 9 21:07:00 2019 UTC
SMART support is: Unavailable - device lacks SMART capability.
what I get with fdisk -l :
(The dev/sda seems to be the only one problematic ?)
Code:

Before re-installing windows and switching to mint, I also tried to identify it with diskpart but unsuccessfully. I only have my secondary HDD detected (on which all the data is ok).
I would like to know if there is a way to access again to SSD without formatting (I didn't tried to format the 16kb partition that appears on the disk manager, I don't know if it will help to something :S), or a way to recover the data from the SSD before (as I have some important data on it)?
I didn't find any similar issue on the web to rely on, I don't know if I'm assessing it rightly (I'm not very experienced), so I've tried to explain the situation the most clearly possible...
If you come with any idea to help solving this situation, thank you !
