OS Sierra installation failed - can't see HD in Disk Utility
Hi,
Attempted to install OS Sierra, installation hung at grey screen. Rebooted to kernel panic and boot loop eventually ending with ø (Circle with line through). Won't boot into safe mode. Can boot into recovery mode, but can't see anything other than the recovery partition in disk utility. Made a USB bootable installer, booted from that, but again, could only see the recovery partition. Can't use backup or install sierra again because there is nowhere to install it. Tried in terminal: diskutil unmountdisk was successful, but diskutil mountdisk came back "One or volume (s) failed to mount"
Took the computer in to a service centre locally for diagnostic and tech said the SSD has failed. Does this sound like a reasonable diagnosis? Just wanted to check here before shelling out close to half the value of the laptop new for a replacement SSD.
Thanks!

If you have a local Apple Store pay them a visit. Apple did have a run of bad SSD's that mostly was within the Airs but some were found in the MBP's as well. If it is indeed one of these bad units it would be covered under an extended warranty repair.
If I remember correctly I think the units where Toshiba SSD's. You could try taking a look and post a good clear screenshot of the SSD so we can see it.
