I have a late 2012 Mac mini that came with 8 GB RAM & 500 GB HD. I added a OWC 120 GB SSD (Mercury Elektra) for the OS and Apps.
Everything was fine for a couple of years, so the other morning I turned it on and all I got was a folder with the question mark! I did a bunch of tests, in the recovery mode under Disk Utility the drive shows: 33kb sand force 200026BB
So my question here is: Is the SSD dead? And can I recover anything from it?

Well, I contacted OWC and they offered to replace the SSD!
