Sometimes randomly one of my drives just won't show up. It has happened a few times. It just becomes undecidable for a while and comes back a few hours later. The fixes I found on the internet don't work. Please help.

I've gone to Disk Management and I also can't find it there.

It's got to be the SATA drive because they talk about not seeing it in Drive Management, so the NVMe must be good.

I would check the SATA connectors, at both ends, and including the power ribbon cable.
