My 1TB Samsung 840EVO SSD died and it is still under warranty.
I had a data recovery company take a look at the drive and was quoted 2200 and a 70% chance of retrieving the files. I passed as I didn't want to spend that much $.
Then a friend of mine said he wifes company could take a look at the drive and would do me a favor. They then said that the last data recovery company stripped the screws on the drive.
They would have to forcefully and manually open the drive casing to get to the chips.
My question is this, the drive is under warranty with Samsung, but in going through the warranty info it says that if the drive is opened they will not honor warranty.
Is this true? Are we not able open the drive to do data recovery on a failed hard drive? Am I stuck with either get a new drive and not go for data recovery or not get the replacement drive and go for the data recovery. Seems insane that Samsung or any manufacturer wouldn't allow you to try and save your data from their failed hardware. Ideas? Thanks in advance.
