Hey guys. I have MSI z-690-A, a 3090, a intel 12600kf. I have two m2 ssds as my main storage and a third sata SSD with 500gb. That sata ssd worked fine for a long time. Recently i swapped out my PSU and since then my computer just doesnt recognize my Sata SSD anymore. I replugged so many times, not that there is alot you can do wrong but i tried anyways and i just cant get my computer to detect my Sata SSD, which worked fine just a couple days ago. It isnt listed in the BIOS either.

That Sata SSD had alot of important information on it. This is really stressing me out alot so i'd be glad to hear any advice

Do you guys have any IDEA whats going on?

Plugged in both cables? Does it work in another system or do you still have the old psu to try it again? Maybe try a USB to Sata enclosure and see if that works?

If the power supply is modular, check both ends of the power cable to make sure it's seated fully. Also check both ends of the data cable. If it worked with the old power supply and stopped working after only changing the power supply, that suggests a cable is not plugged in correctly.

Also, if it is a modular power supply, are you using only cables that came with the new one? Cables from different models are not necessarily compatible with each other.
