Have a Patriot Torqx 120GB SSD which died due to a bad SATA cable. At first the BIOS recognized it for what it was, and Windows 7 re-installed the driver. I didn't want to recover anything, just wanted to reformat it using Minitool Partition Wizard Pro 9, which reported that it's a bad drive.

Rebooted again, and the BIOS no longer recognizes it as SATA, just as an ATA drive, and Minitool sees only 2 MB capicity. That is MB not GB.

Is there a way to fix this?
 
Wicked Mystic, you have a very good point. Just tried to get an opinion. What I don't understand (in my case 120GB), the prices are so different within the same brand (Samsung). And here again, I have no clue about trusted brands with a decent history of reliability, because I owned the Patriot only 60 days and would never consider their products again. (It's not returnable).

Every manufacturer has some defective products. Crucial MX100/MX200/BX100 has proven to be quite reliable, generally.
