Crucial SSD Drive Failed - Can we save data.?

We got it Wawww

hello can you upgrade m1 Mac mini's RAM or SSD nands?

Thats awesome! How come you didn't need to put the cap back to get the data? Curious.

Hi, following a general net low followed by surge psu got bad and killed samsung 1tb ssd, or any other old sacrificial hdd I connected while troubleshooting to that specific psu sata port only (other psu sata port where main hdd is connected on still works) but the data is on that 1tb ssd, anything I could check first knowing that?
Maybe someone had a similar issue and could hit where to commonly look first!?

i love your style of speaking 🤩 in german we call it "unmissverständlich"👍

Alex you have awesome experience nice video

I'm sold on getting a thermal camera! Thanks, I really learn alot from your videos.

Nice fix. Always great feeling when you found the problem, fix it and it works then...

Don't know if this has been answered before. So you were removing two things in the end and not replacing them with working parts. It still worked. So my question is: what is the purpose of these two components in the first place if you don't need them to use the drive? Thanks for answering

I would call this defect a "harmless eclipse"

I heard the tone

Man, you dont realy pay attention Look the board you have 2 same chips AKJ and the same capasitor C514 as C507 you were soldering

Thermal cameras save many time... in the hands of GOOD GUY... otherwise? OMG.

Everyone swears by ssd. Unless you’re running them in raid, you’re better off with an HDD as the recovery is far easier from a platter than a nand chip.

Different wives, same story.

You can tell it's an inductor because it is

When you got it to connect only to disconnect it to see if it's working, I would think your 1st priority is to the data, not the device itself

Another happy customer 👏👏👏

Hi
Good job?
You are engineer ?

Brilliant

I have no idea what you did or why any of that worked. 2 things, though: 1) did you just remove the shorted capacitor without replacing it? isn't it there for a reason? why does everything work without it? And 2) I'd have copied the drive as fast as I could upon first recognition (well, probably not too fast, though, in fear of anything overheating again, haha). Fascinating work, kudos!

With memory so cheap, I must ask why RAID isn't commonplace.

Impressive :D But I would never have disconnected it again after seeing the data I would immediately have started copying... every action is connected to a risk...

Great job Alex!

Verry good video, it pay to know what you are doing, iam just leaning about electerics, & you can save so much money when you do it your self.

فنان ولا غلطة👍🌹

Love you work You must be frightened of your wife to jump that high and loose your tweezers..😂

I would like to thank you because you gave me the right direction to follow. 🙏 I was able to detect 7 capacitors that was shorted to ground with my old multimeter. Of course there was only one that was dead but after desoldered, measured and resoldered them one by one , I found the giulty one : it was C503 for me. The SSD is now alive again and I retrieved all my data. 👍

Great job Bro you saved the owner of ssd datta from losing

This is exciting and fun :)

❤

Did not whatch the whole Video but why he did not just desoldered the Memory modules and soldered them to a working SSD?

Sir what type of microscope are you using please

Very nice repairing- thanks for sharing.

It's hilarious when I get recovery jobs from people in which I spend a week getting the data back from a destroyed drive or piecing together a logicboard and all they ask is if the drive works and if they can use it. It's like barely surviving being cut from a burning car with the jaws of life and worrying about your car <.<

Great job! Congratulations! 🎉

Great content :)

As someone that JUST bought two of those Crucial SSD drives (which were btw much more expensive than a lower tier Crucial SSD ($105 vs $80 for 2TB) I'm not happy to see such a dumb short happening. Oh well, I did get the 2nd one for backups of the first (C drive) one. Why not Raid1 them? Good question, Crucial drives won't allow it

When dealing with a failed drive OR one that is failing but still working currently. As soon you get access to the file start copying all the data you can while the drive is working. Once that task is completed never trust that drive ever again. Trusting a repaired drive that stores data is highly dumb and people that trust repaired drives should be slapped side of the head.

Failure rates on caps are just ridiculous.

That was suspenceful and ultimately gratifying. Instant sub!

curious why that cap would not be needed yet is installed on the board originally

Bravo...

Hello sir, can i recover my data from my SSD 26% health,? Coz i cant access it anymore, every time i onn my pc, i got stuck up on windows logo, what should i do?

fantastic piece of work guy!!

I fixed two SSD drive this week , the videos here helped. both had shorted capacitors.

Achieving success in resolving the issue brings immeasurable joy.
