Manjaro crash and dont start

What is the output of:

sudo blkid

… from within the chroot environment?

    ~  sudo blkid                                          ✔

Your SSD drive may have been disconnected from the SATA socket. Check that the connection is firm; and swap the cable in case it’s damaged. If the SSD still doesn’t appear in blkid output after that, then yes, a complete reinstall might be your only option (if the SSD is undamaged).

I connected an SSD that I have for backup and it was recognized immediately. it means that the SSD with Manjaro is damaged. but I wonder, how is this possible? without any warning! it is an INTENSE SSD with 2 years of life.

I wonder if sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda will reveal anything? … as for the disappearing data, SSDs apparently can fail in this manner, unfortunately.

I doubt that would reveal much when the SSD doesn’t appear to be detected at all; it seems kaputski, from information provided.

Perhaps it will make a fine paperweight.
