Think my ssd might be dead/dying again.
As some times when starting up the pc it fails to see the sdd drive or sometimes I’ll get a BootMGR error. It started doing this a 7 or 8 months ago but only every now and then but over the last week it’s been getting worse/happing more often.
So far ive tried changing the sata data lead, changing the power lead, changing the sata port its connected to also reinstalled windows in case.
The BootMGR issues can be sorted in windows repair and if the pc fails to see the drive restarting a few times seems to work for now but it started out doing the above once every few months or maybe longer but since a few months ago its now getting to the point where its doing it once or twice every two weeks.
It also seems to have lost a bit of performance over the last month or so as well
The ssd is a Kingston Hyper x 120 GB (the blue version)
I have run crystal disk mark on the drive and the results I got were

Also there is still 40 gb free on the drive as I try to make sure there is at least 40 – 35 gb free at all times
I hope ive included enough/all info needed
 
Have you tried running a check to see if you are getting "bad sectors" Even flash memory gets those some times, resulting in data loss. Also i'm pretty sure that kingston SSDs come with their utilities that include their own performance tests
