Thank you Palorim12, I have informed Samsung of your procedure, Unfortunately I dont have a spare SSD lying around therefore I will be unable to perform this. Im just waiting for Samsung to release a Fix. It cant be that hard, all they need to do is release an ISO which will perform an...

Hi Palorim, You have given me hope. Small problem though, I don't have another SSD of an exact same capacity, and if the ISO with the new update is not available anymore how can I obtain it? Would you recommend that I just wait for Samsung to release something official to fix this? Bearing...

Hi Cshnier, Reconditioned drives is nowhere near anything to settle for, in fact they should be giving you something more. Do not send in your drive or get rid of it. There is still a chance the data may be recoverable (hopefully as always). From my knowledge its the...

Ok so I just got back my old hard drive and plugged in my SSD. Doesnt look too good, it incorrectly reads the capacity and everything else about the drive is pure gibberish. Also I cannot look into the files on the drive due to an I/O error in Windows, if anybody else has encountered this do...

Hi everyone, So just got off the phone with European assistance located in the Netherlands. She said at the moment they are working on a fix, and the best thing we can do is to wait for Samsung to release a statement for a course of action . The only repair centre in Europe is located in the...

Hi Jean, I have just called the 00800 number and their helplines are closed. they open at 7:30am to 4:00 pm GMT. There is no way of getting into contact with an assistant until the helplines open tomorrow morning. and this number is a European help centre. Yes I see what you mean Samsung need...

Hi Jean, Have you tried calling the number, I am beyond frustrated.. I have been to a repair shop I dont know if there is actual damage to the hardware? I.e over voltage applied to NAND cells in which case completely fried. I hope not! You are correct I cannot find a contact number for...

Hi, I have been using my 850 Pro SSD, it has been absolutely fine until I was notified from Samsung magician this morning that an update was available for the drive, so I carried out the update and then it said update failed, I didn't think much of it until I restarted my computer. Major...
