I'm not sure if I have a bad drive or what's wrong, but it doesn't look like a bad quality board/chip in any way. Upon closer inspection, the chips appear to be glued to the board (or something like that, which I haven't seen in over 20 years of hardware enthusiast activity). During initial testing, the drive worked fine, but within a week of building and testing the machine, it simply would not boot and was no longer recognized by any BIOS (tested on multiple MOBOs from different manufacturers with different chipsets).
