Tried doing a full battery pull/jumper CMOS reset? It should be working thru the USB but it sounds like some saved UEFI setting is loving up.

No; what I think is wrong is one of two things.

One would be the motherboard's UEFI information as to how to boot and mount drives has some bad setting saved and configured in. Clearing the CMOS won't touch any information on drives or drive controllers, but you may have to manually pick which drive to use again at worst.

Two would be the drive's controller somehow had a weird Linux aneurysm and is now non-functional, which seems and is so ridiculous that's almost assuredly not it but OEM's sell first and settle the class action later so who fuckin' knows.

Every hard drive on Earth is tested heavily under Linux for storage appliance usage; I think you just got bit by a particularly nasty coincidence.

Sorry dude, that bites.
