HDD GURU FORUMS

Hi Everybody,

I have a Samsung SSD 2.5" of 256GB that was working on a DELL M4500 Laptop. After leaving the laptop working, when I came back I found a message on the screen saying that "can not boot from device". After attempting some diagnostic I am receiving a 2000-0150 error code. The laptop its just 3 years old.

I have been trying to mount the SSD in other computer via USB but it doesn't shows up as a drive, at least its recognized in Windows in the device administrator. I tried to use "HDD Raw Copy Tool" to clon the disk so I can work the recovery, but the tool can not copy the disk as fails in the process. Also I tried with "Partition Find and Mount" tool, but the Scan process seems to hang. In the past these tools have worked excellent with hard drives.

I will really appreciate any advice in how to recover the disk or data and what SSD tools I could use . SSD are kind of new for me , not sure if there are other tools designed to work with SSD.

Best Regards,
Carlos.

Do you have more information about which Samsung SSD it is specifically?
In case it is a EVO840, you can get more information about it here:

Other models are similar but different, so some information in there might not apply to your model.
For diagnosing the problem, my SSDdiag software likely helps: https://github.com/thesourcerer8/SSDdiag

Hi,

I apologize for the delay. The disk model is Samsung MZ-5PA2560/0D1 (I attached a picture of the label on the disk just in case). I think this is older than the EVO series. Pelase let me know if you think I can diagnose with the software you suggested https://github.com/thesourcerer8/SSDdiag.

Any suggestion is appreciated and welcomed.

Best Regards,

Carlos.

The firmware part is definitely unsupported, the firmware is a different one than the EVO840. I don't have any donors for that SSD, and I couldn't find enough information about which controller is used, so I don't know whether the hardware-diagnostic part is compatible, or not. I would need the number on the controller, S4LN045X01-8030 would be compatible.

Ok, some ideas I have:
Try Samsung Magician, and see what it tells you.
Either attach the SSD directly to a SATA port, or if you only have USB, buy a UASP capable USB-SATA adapter. (Normal USB-SATA adapters that do not support UASP are not sufficient for data recovery)
