    So ive noticed after some games started to just terminate mid game [not like a typical crash] that one of my SSDs stops working or responding and doesnt show up in windows after above issue.
    After a system reboot it shows up fine and i can start running games stored on it.
    Its happened twice now so far both this morning, is the SSD on the way out?

    More than likely. The controller is probably fooked.

    Can you try swapping sata port on your motherboard?
    If it's your primary drive you may need to change boot order in bios after

    So all was fine for few days, started again today so i booted up crucial storage executive software and it notified me of a firmware update, hoping that sorts it this time.
