So I have a working build running El Capitan 10.11.6, restarted my computer this morning and all of a sudden the data has been wiped. On restart it needed to be initialized; which i did, but the data on it is removed although it now shows in disk utility :(

Is my drive possibly faulty, or is this just a weird random incident where my build is not configured and this drive got wiped? I checked power connections/sata connections (unplugged/replugged) and restarted again and it still doesn't show any data on the drive.

ps; I had previously restarted my computer many times and the data on the drive was fine up until now.
--- also i did run a first aid through OS X disk utility and shows it being fine.


My power supply should be fine to run 1 hd,2 ssds, a GTX 780, 4770k right? 650 Watt Corsairs PSU

I should also note the drive was bought about 3 days ago.
