    Can it be recognized in Windows on any version/machine?

    I had no chance to try it. Do you have any suggestion for an adaptor to check it in a usb of a working pc??

    Some of the guys around here can recommend an enclosure... I don't have one but need one too.

    That's a SandForce-based SSD, correct? If that's the case the fact that it has "disappeared" from BIOS likely equals the controller failure.

    Shut the machine down, remove the SSD, attempt re-insertion and boot after a few hours. If the boot is successful, rescue anything important that's on the drive then and there.

    Good luck.

    The chances are slim, generally speaking. Hopefully you will get your data back for $200...

    Good luck.

    I had given the computer, not the drive only itself.
