After reading your query carefully I came to a conclusion that you must have downloaded and upgraded broken or incomplete Firmware. Or the Firmware must have flaws in it. To solve this you have to update it with the latest firmware which can fix the problem that you are facing forever. Just see to it that you get the firmware from the official website for a genuine one.

I figured out the actual reason behind this about why unique firmware gets released. They are released basically to fix situations that are reported. I was felling a bit hesitant to begin delivering reporting about the situation in place of just giving back where its due and get a unique one while I still can. I have then again today updated to firmware 1.3.2 in the trusts that issues identifying the SSD vanishing from the system, could now inch toward getting fixed without introducing late situations that weren’t there from the begin. I’ll cross my fingers and see if my workstation can run stable 24/7 for the following days without the SSD dropping out, and report my findings over here when I get some sort of finish.

When I returned to my PC, there was simply a dark screen DOS-style “bootmgr is lost” – the drive has basically vanished and my workstation attempted booting up again from a non-OS drive, bringing about the slip.
