Hi,
I have a Samsung PM983 3.84TB M.2 drive specifically of model MZ1LB3T8HMLA-00007.
Since two weeks, it reports as firmware version "ERRORMOD". Apparently per @sourcerer and his research in
http://www2.futureware.at/~philipp/ssd/ ... Manual.pdf , this means the drive attempts to start but faces early startup failure.
The drive reports as 1GB volume while really it's 3.84TB.
Do you have any suggestion for how to recover its contained data?
Not sure if Ace3K or MRT support it yet. Samsung has a SSD warranty team whose contacts are at
https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/memo ... -warranty/ . Waiting for response of all these.
The drive is recent - 5 months use - and has been used only lightly.
Below is some Samsung DC tool output for your reference.
Your clarifications much appreciated!!
