About the 980 & 980 PRO

Some 980 PRO drives were affected by a 2023 firmware fault that caused rapid health decline until Samsung released an update.

Not sure which model you have? Look at the label on the SSD itself, or check Device Manager / System Information on a working computer.

How we recover 980 & 980 PRO data

Most failed SSDs still hold their data. We work with controller-specific tools; drives with hardware encryption must be recovered through the original controller.

Common questions

Can you recover data from a failed Samsung 980 & 980 PRO?

In most cases, yes. SSD recovery happens at controller level: we put the drive into a technological mode, repair or bypass the failed firmware and read the flash through its own controller so the data is reassembled correctly.

Where do I find my SSD model number?

Look at the label on the SSD itself, or check Device Manager / System Information on a working computer.

Will I know what can be recovered before I pay?

Yes. You get a list of recoverable files before the recovery itself is charged.
