The computer's motherboard is fried. But the tech guy who tried to get it to work said the HDD is still OK. The only problem is I don't have a means of transferring the data.
Drive model is MZ-JPU256T/0A1
From poking around online on Amazon, aliexpress etc I saw that not all ssd are created equal and the pin configuration varies greatly. So, if anyone can help me find an enclosure for this specific drive or some other means of getting the data from the drive... Please???
So here's the deal, I bought a bus powered usb c external hard drive from seagate like the one in the picture not knowing that it needs external power to run. Based on my research (after I bought the thing) I saw that I need a docking station for this to work. For those who has this kind of external hard drive, can you beautiful people recommend some CHEAP docking stations that I could use for this? I'm from the Philippines so if you can recommend docking stations available in my region that would be best. Thank you!
This is my secondary laptop with an old HDD. There are important files inside, but I don't have any other place to back up or store them right now. Can this drive last for maybe 2-3 months? I barely use it. Thanks.
Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask, but I have a laptop HDD removed and need to open this user folder. I tried many times and after waiting a while it just ends and not opens it.
I am looking to do my first few PC upgrades to play better steam games on Dad's old PC. These include upgraded RAM Sticks and also more storage in the form of a new SSD. However the current motherboard is some random Chinese or lesser known brand i think and so I can't find the specs sheet for this motherboard. How can I find out if my computer has a 2nd SSD slot preferably without opening up the computer. And if I do need to open up the computer what am I looking for or can someone link a good YT video or something. I have attatched screen shots but the motherboard is a Foxconn 17A0 and has one 256GB SSD from what I can see so I'd like to add a 2nd 256 SSD if there is a slot however if there is only one slot Ill have to invest into like a 1/2TB Drive and it will be more expensive and as the PC is old its not worth sinking loads of money into. Just like 100-150 to play a few games until I move for uni next year. Thankyou everyone

Good day, I have a problem with my computer, maybe someone has encountered such a problem. That year, I wanted to download a movie from a "pirate" site, along with the movie, I probably got some kind of virus that loaded my drive C very much, I tried to replace the Windows, format the disk and more than one (all together) the problem was partially solved, now when starting the system for 15-20 minutes, the disk loads to 100%, after which it becomes easier for him, I found an opportunity to solve it, through the settings-> security-> fight against viruses-> real-time protection (turns off manually), the disk becomes much better. The load drops to 30-40%, after a certain time it drops to 1-2%, I don't even know what else to do. I don't really want to buy a new disc, tell me what I can do, thank you
Firmware’s OEM (SN02) — standard Seagate firmware update fails, won’t take it.
Tried the F3 diag route over UART. Terminal works, get the F3 T> prompt fine, but anything security-related returns Diagnostic Port Locked. Reads but won’t act — looks like it wants a signed Seagate unlock.
Before I sink more time in: has anyone actually recovered OEM-locked Exos like these? Specifically —
• Master password level high vs maximum — did --security-erase work, or was the master cap set to max?
• Any way past the locked F3 port, or is that a hard wall without Seagate?
• Bulk approach that isn’t “RMA them one at a time”?
Not after data, just want them wiped and usable. Hundreds at stake so trying to figure out if this whole lot is salvageable or if I have locked bricks.
My three 2TB WD My Passports (one is an Ultra) are getting close to capacity. I’ve had them all for many years and there are no signs of problems from the last time I added stuff to them back around February.
I was originally thinking about getting a couple of 6TB WD My Passport Ultra drives, since mine have served me well, and then a larger-capacity NAS drive to put in an enclosure when I can afford it. However, I’m not sure if the 6TB My Passports are as reliable as the 2TB models, or if it would be cheaper and/or more reliable to get an internal/NAS model and put an enclosure on it.
These drives would, if I’m consistent, have stuff backed up to them once a week or month.
With the market changing so rapidly, I would appreciate any advice y’all could give me.
Thank you!
My 64gb ssd passed and processing over 3PB, experiment is well better than few weeks ago. I'll keep pushing the controller limit is theoretically 144PB before either it turns into a negative factor, reverts to 0 or freeze and my favorite glitch symbols.
Who knows what the problem might be? I connect an external small HDD through the native adaptor board, and it is displayed as RAW disk 3. Then when I connect via SATA, I can see all the files and everything is fine. Why is there such a problem with the adaptor board?
Hi all,
i bought some returned stuff and got two Samsung SSDs which seem to be the same model with a small difference in layout. Somebody destroyed caps and traces before returning and i would like to fix them.
Does anybody know the exact name of these SSDs and maybe can show me closeups in the scratched area where traces are visible? As stated the layout is minimal different in both.
I am looking for 2nd hand drives to start my Home lab journey and I just need a small bit of storage to get me going (4TB). I want backups for my photos ans documents, I don’t care about movies and music as I can just get them again. €110
I’m looking at this seller who was kind enough to post disk help. And they are 2 red western digital 2TB HHDs.
I’m asking for help in should I get them as just a beginner stepping stone.
Thanks!
On my Seagate U10 hard drive (2001) with each S.M.A.R.T test, the number of head positioning errors increases by 20. Is this the norm for Seagate, or is this the end?
Hey everyone,
I'm facing a major dilemma with my Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 1TB (purchased in 2022). It recently crashed my system, and after hooking it up to another PC, CrystalDiskInfo and smartctl confirmed the worst: the controller locked itself permanently into hardware Read-Only mode.
The SMART attributes show that ID 03 (Available Spare) dropped straight to 0 (Raw: 000000000000), which triggered the safety lock. What's crazy is that the drive only has 67 TB written out of its 600 TBW lifespan (around 11% usage). It basically died prematurely.
Here is my issue:
I drafted a strict GDPR-based email to Samsung support asking for an exceptional waiver to get a replacement without sending the dead drive back (or by providing video proof of physical destruction), but we all know manufacturer support can be a brick wall.
Before I send the drive to complete strangers through public transit:
I'm really uncomfortable sending all my un-erasable life data into the wild, but losing a €300 value hurts.
Thanks for any advice!
