Hi guys, this particular model has been talked for umpteen years, but still I am sad owner of one which lasted me until 2020 being used only for data storage... I somehow managed to cause this problem when I kept resetting my PC as it was unable to boot Windows 10 properly on the SSD main drive.

Anyway i searched around Google and found the same exact issue from another person that posted it on Youtube in 2011!

Unfortunately there were no news on whether he managed to fix the problem.

Are there any Samsung gurus out there who knows if this is a mechanical "spindle" problem or PCB problem?

Thanks!

Sounds like it both stucked and spinns up is there another drive in the background as well?
