I bought a Samsung 860 EVO 1 TB SSD in June to go along with my 500 GB 850 EVO that I've had since May 2015. The problem is with the 1 TB drive. They are both powered by the same cable from the PSU, but use separate cables to connect to the motherboard (I assume this is standard?) Over the last month and a half, Windows 10 has recognized it less and less often. When this first started, a reboot would fix the problem. I thought I had fixed the problem by telling Windows ot never put the drive to sleep, but last week Windows stopped recognizing the drive completely no matter how many reboots. When I was initially encountering the problem, I ran chkdisk and the Samsung Magician thing and they both told me there was nothing wrong with the drive. When I was experimenting today, I found that the 2nd drive isn't even detected in the BIOS, but if I change it to use IDE instead of AHCI, the second drive will be detected. The problem with this is that Windows 10 won't start if I change to IDE. It tells me that there's a problem with the boot drive. This is my power supply

I'd make sure you're on the latest motherboard BIOS. Also, change the SATA cable and SATA port for that 1TB drive.

Apparently it was the port, thanks. How worried should I be about the other ports also failing if one did?

But if you have a junky brand/model motherboard more stuff could fail...especially if it was known to have faulty SATA controllers or some kind of defect. Likewise, if the motherboard was very old.
