My internal hard drive does not get detected sometimes. I had this same problem a few months back. Upon getting it repaired by computer technician, I was told the issue was in the hard drive cover which connects the SSD to the PC. The issue got fixed at a cost of $100. I am not sure what that meant but the same issue has returned.
I don’t believe I have to replace my solid state drive. Can anyone offer me any solutions?

Hello Sagar, I have the same issue, did you get it fixed eventually?
Thanks! Olivier

I have the same issue. Once I replace the SSD - the new one is not recognized on boot. If I boot an external OS, I can access the SSD - so it seems to work but for some reason the BIOS does not see it on boot up.
Any ideas/solutions out there?

Yes, if this one slot stick on Sony 13Pro, it needs to be ahci-pcie, not nvme. NVME does not boot without editing bios code.
