PC-3000 Forum

Hello, I was given a ssd extracted from a surface pro. It is not recognizable in an m.2 adapter. Can a chip off be done on this ssd? Any suggestions on how to proceed? Thanks, Dave

Hello Dave. Do you have any pictures with your SSD drive? We need SSD model name and controller name.

Hi Roman, It’s a Samsung model mz-flv2560, p/n me flv256hchp-00mv. Thanks, Dave

Hi Roman, I've just attached the picture. Thanks Again...

this will be encrypted so chip off is not possible. I also this this is 850 EVO family so there is very little that you will be able to do at the moment - maybe roman has some ideas on it?

This is PCI-E PM951 - right now it's impossible to recover this drive with PC-3000. Probably later in this year we will find the way.

I guess no update on this yet?

Have one that PC3K portable will auto detect that it's NVME, but will not ID..

"NVMe Identify reading error: NVMe Identify reading error (CNS: 0x01; NSID: 0);
Request status.......................... : 06 [Command sending timeout]"

By default, all working NVMe drives should be detectable on Portable III, but if you can't get ID, means that there is a problem with Firmware.

Samsung drives with damaged Firmware can't be recovered by now. They all protected with digital signature.
