Samsung SP1634N Data Recovery Details

Samsung Hard Drives fail and the SP1634N is no exception to this.

I own a 2yr old Dell Laptop that has recently ceased to recognize my hard drive, which is a Hitachi Travelstar. I have taken the drive out and attempted to read it in another computer, as well as through a USB reader interface, with no luck. I also took it to PC World," who advised me that the data was probably okay but the "motor inside the drive" was no longer working. ..Peter Wright, Devon, UK

Samsung hard drives are well-known for their factory firmware problems. Factory Firmware is stored on the disk platters in the so-called System (Service) Area of the hard disk. If one of the disk modules becomes corrupted the whole hard disk micro-operating system can't boot up, the drive cannot initialise correctly and thus stops working. If you attempt to boot up from such a Samsung hard drive or read any data from it you would get "Disk boot failure. Insert system disk and press enter" or "Primary Master Hard Disk Fail" or "No operating system found" or "USB Device malfunctioned" error or "S.M.A.R.T. Capable But Command Failed" or some other BIOS error.

Currently there is no way to fix this type of firmware corruption at home. It is quite a complicated procedure and requires use of specialised expensive equipment and deep knowledge of hard drive design and data recovery technology.

Samsung SP1634N drive was working perfectly and does not seem to have any errors on it at all - except for all of a sudden the drive shows up as 0 bytes capacity. When you go into the Windows 2003 Server storage manager it shows that the 80gb drive has about 40gb used - but the partition type is RAW. ..Paul Duffy, Middlesbrough, UK

Another issue for Samsung hard drives is damage to components on the PCB board. Samsung Hard Drives are vunerable to overheating and power surges which can lead to a burned out motor or blowing a controller chip on the logic board. If the micro chips on the PCB burn out you would smell smoke in the air. On next boot your Samsung hard disk will probably not even spin up at all!

The Samsung drive can spin up and the head starts clicking right from the beginning with a regular clicking sound . More times than not this a sign of bad heads, if this is the case it is very important to perform accurate diagnostics and eliminate a chance of possible firmware corruption or PCB failure that sometimes could also cause clicking.

After about a month of working my hd stop working. Its an old Fujitsu 1gb drive, from a Compaq PC. On the scsi setup menu i can see it but on boot i get the following message: Symbios Inc. SDMS(TM) V4.0 PCI SCSI Bios, PCI Rev. 2.0, 2.1 Copyright 1995,1998 Symbios, inc. PCI -4.10.01.HP Press F6 to start Symbios Configuration Utility... Originally known as SP1634N(Samsung).

The last regular Samsung hard drive issue applies also to all other hard drive makes and models, the problem is called bad sectors. After some period of time the platters were the data is located starts to degrade and bad sectors appear. Whenever the hard drive attempts to read bad sectors it could start freezing, scratching, ticking and sometimes loud clicking. This leads to further damage to the surface and causes more data loss. As soon as you start experiencing such symptoms while reading important files, stop the drive immediately and consider sending it to a data recovery company like ourselves for a free diagnostic. Any further attempts to read the Samsung drive would just add up to the problems and make more data unrecoverable. In our Data Recovery Lab we use expensive imaging tools that are capable of force reading bad sectors from Samsung Hard Disks. This is usually the only way to effectively retrieve data from these Drives.
