HDD GURU FORUMS

Hello, does anyone had any results with this drive? If yes PM me to solve this one too!
P.S As far as i know PC3K has no solution, and chip off solution cannot be done on this SSD because of its encryption.

https://morde.pt/ Here under DRUG are the only people I know offering custom recovery at the moment. I tried to sort it out but after 2 weeks of getting nowhere I decided it was above my pay grade.

thank you

What is the problem ? You get an ID ? Capactity or it just stay BSY ?
If it stay busy the first things to try is to power it and doing nothing wait long time, 12-24 hours to see if it would get ready.

If is doesn't get ready after 12-24 hours you will need to try controller swap.

I get Id after 5 minutes but when i try to read a sector does a software reset and goes to DRD again

Can you retrieve the SMART data after it IDs? This will read from the firmware area rather than the user area.

What about running the extended SMART self test? This will cause the drive to read each sector internally, without SATA I/O. I don't know if this is potentially dangerous, though.

I had a similar case end of 2023. Nothing worked. There's no access and no loader on recent Samsung SSD. Someone point out the crystal/quartz but it didn't help.
