Exeter Data Recovery is the No.1 Samsung SSD and Hard Disk data recovery specialist, with over 25 years of proven expertise. We provide advanced recovery solutions for Samsung T7, T5, 860 EVO, 870 QVO, and all major models of Samsung SSDs and HDDs. Whether your device has failed due to firmware corruption, physical damage, or logical issues, we have the tools and expertise to recover your data securely and efficiently.
We recover data from the top 30 Samsung storage models, including external and internal SSDs, portable USB drives, SATA hard disks, and high-performance NVMe drives.
Common Samsung Storage Failures We Recover
We specialise in resolving the full spectrum of Samsung SSD and HDD failures, including:
● Mechanical Failures (HDDs)
- Damaged read/write heads
- Seized spindle motors
- Misaligned actuator arms
- Internal contamination from shock or impact
● Bad Sectors and Read Instability
- Sector degradation causing unreadable areas
- Drives becoming slow or unresponsive
- Requires forensic imaging with multiple ECC passes
● Firmware Corruption
- Samsung SSDs entering read-only or ‘frozen’ state
- Failed firmware updates (especially with Samsung Magician software)
- Controller not initialising NAND correctly
● Logical Damage
- Corrupted file systems (NTFS, exFAT, HFS+, ext4)
- Accidental formatting or volume initialisation
- Lost or overwritten partition tables
● PCB and Electrical Failures
- Short circuits due to power surge or water damage
- Failed capacitors, TVS diodes, or voltage regulators
- Requires precise micro-soldering and controller board repair
● BIOS / System Detection Failures
- Drive not showing in BIOS or Disk Management
- UEFI boot errors or drive not recognised during OS install
- Often related to firmware issues or faulty controller ICs
● SSD-Specific Issues
- Controller failure (e.g., Phoenix, UBX, Pablo, Elpis)
- NAND degradation and wear-leveling issues
- TRIM command data loss
- Encryption-related failures in T5, T7, and 980 Pro series
Samsung T7 Recovery – Our Specialisation
We are specialists in Samsung T7 recovery, one of the most common external SSDs used by professionals and consumers alike. These drives, while compact and fast, are prone to several recovery challenges:
- USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface not detected on OS
- Firmware lockout or “write protected” errors
- Physical connector damage from cable stress or impact
- Encrypted volume inaccessible after disconnection or drop
- Sudden power loss causing table corruption or bridge failure
Our engineers use professional tools to access Samsung T7 controller firmware, bypass locked states, and extract data via direct chip read if necessary.

Our Data Recovery Process
Step 1: Diagnostic Evaluation
- In-depth inspection using digital microscopes and firmware testers
- Identification of physical, electrical, or firmware issues
- Power-on behaviour analysed using oscilloscopes and logic probes
Step 2: SSD or HDD Stabilisation
- Firmware modules read using PC-3000, DeepSpar, or vendor-specific access modes
- Controller diagnostics performed for T7 and NVMe drives
- NAND wear levels, bad block tables, and SMART data assessed
Step 3: Imaging and Data Extraction
- Low-level sector imaging with ECC correction
- Chip-off recovery where controller is non-functional
- Data carved and reconstructed from raw NAND dumps where needed
Step 4: File System Recovery
- Partition reconstruction and MFT repair for NTFS/exFAT
- Extraction of user files, system data, and encrypted containers
- Verification of file integrity, folder hierarchy, and naming
Step 5: Secure Data Return
- Recovered data transferred to a healthy external drive
- Secure erasure of temporary data from recovery devices
- Full confidentiality ensured throughout the process
