Can you try the drive in another PC? A DOA drive from retail is one thing, but DOA direct from the warranty replacement servicer strikes me as much more unlikely. I'm concerned the problem could be with the motherboard.

More along the lines of "Maybe a SATA port is broken or the SATA controller is busted in a way that isn't affecting that particular SSD but does/would affect other drives." Broken hard drives can certainly explain this, but it's weirder behavior than usual for a broken drive, and especially for two drives in a row, and especially for a drive fresh out of a warranty replacement center. It could also be a power supply making GBS threads out bad power along the chain that the hard drive is plugged into, instantly frying the controller of any drive you hook up to it. Even plugging the drive into a USB - SATA dock or adapter would help diagnose this, as that would bypass the motherboard's SATA controller.
