Sorry, I think my reading comprehension was shit there… I got fixated on rescue usb not seeing the disk.
No, I wouldn’t expect it to be a bad port if grub is loading (and the grub partition is on the same disk). Bios not booting at all with disk removed is strange too, I’d expect it to just boot the usb if that were plugged in while disk is not.
You said usb rescue lsblk doesn’t list the disk, guessing it doesn’t show up under /dev/disk/by-id either? lspci? How about with a windows install usb, does it see the disk?

I think I tested the SSD-out scenario without live in. Only USB drive itself shows under by-id. I don’t have a Windows install USB, the windows I talked about is a partition on the broken disk. It does see the Linux partition with DiskPart but can’t mount it or extract files from BTRFS. LSPCI lists many cryptic names, “RAID bus controller” sounds like the most promising one. termbin.com/287u
