Is my SSD gone?

Hello there,

 

A couple of months ago, I`ve had some problems with 2 of my HDDs (one of them a SSd, actually). The HDD started making a repetitive sound and was dead outright. The SSD (Corsair Neutron) somehow had its encryption messed up, so the password wouldn`t work. Formatting it fixed everything, though.

 

The thing crashed again, however, and this time I`m not so lucky that a simple format works. I was using it as my Linux partition, and it suddenly started giving many input-output errors as well as saying some files were read-only. After rebooting it (perhaps foolishly), it wouldn`t boot.

 

So here`s how the situation is: it is recognized by the BIOS, but it can`t boot. Windows won`t start with the SSD connected to the motherboard, though (it gets stuck on the loading screen). Linux takes a while to start but manages to do it. Right now I`m on a Live USB. It is listed along with the other HDDs, but it shows as having only 2MB. Here`s the output of a "smartctl -a /dev/sda":

I can`t run the Corsair Tools on the thing since, as I said, Windows won`t start with it. Plugging it after the boot won`t work as well, since it won`t show up.

 

Any clues would help immensely. I`m unsure if the SSD is past the warranty time (I bought it on Oct 2015, Corsair says the 5 year warranty is effective after April 2016, but I don`t know what that really means in my case).

 

Thank you!
