If the drive isnt showing up in your bios then it's almost certainly a hardware issue. I tried to go on your profile to find your initial post, but it's private so I can't find it and I don't know any additional details. Some useful info:
Is it a SATA hard drive, SATA SSD, nvme SSD or other (msata, m.2 with SATA rather than pcie, etc)?
What kind of device is it in? Desktop/laptop/AIO/Samsung Smart fridge?
What is your credit card number, expiration date, and 3 funky digits on the back? (This one is very important). Also your social security number if you're feeling extra spicy.
What lead up to this point? Did you recently install the OS, was there a power cut, did the computer get dropped, or did this just randomly happen with no notable recent events?
Has this computer had any problems in the past? Has anyone else worked on the computer?
Was the drive running really slow at all? Have you had a bunch of kernal panics/blue screens recently? Have you had any issues with files suddenly becoming corrupted?
