28 Mar 23: SSD does not detect on sata or pci-e mode. It only draws 0.05a and shows no fluctuations. It does not show any heat signatures. All electronics test ok with 3.3v and 1.8v signals. This mcu is an all in one design with nand embedded.

22May24: The ssd does not detect on sata and only draws 0.05a. There are no heat signatures at all. This seems to be the same symptoms as the first logged case.

TOSHIBA 256GB M.2 2230 SSD KBG30ZMS256G Data Recovery Caselog

16Apr24: Draws 0.05a. All regulators test ok showing voltages of 3.3, 1.8 and 1.2. No shorts to ground. No heat signature. 
17Apr24: Was testing voltage regulators againt a working example and found all correct measurements. The only difference is that occasionally there would be some caps short to ground and then working ok. This is possible issue that is intermittent. We connected the ssd to our docking station and were able to get it to read again. It was reading very slow about 1mb/s at the start but after a while speed picked up to 30mb/s. This ssd has bitlocker and requires a password to unlock the data.
