Hello, I am interested in your program Ddrescue as it may prove to be useful for my scnario. I have written up details of my problem and posted them here ([1]https://www.tenforums.com/drivers-hardware/202207-samsung-ssd-2-5-e vo-970-raw-corruption-ntfs.html#post2508531).
SSD Specifications: Samsung 2.5" EVO 970 1TB Partition 1 on letter X:\ with 512,001 MB as NTFS on MBR. Formatted with 4096 cluster size. Approximately, 280 GB was used and written to. Note that this SSD has no physical damage and is in excellent health. Samsung software disk quality checks, firmware updates and full format were ran before putting into use. Scenario: Running robocopy.exe from the SSD to cloud storage overnight. Awoken in morning to find SSD in 'corrupt' state and unable to access data via Windows Explorer. USB C ports were intact, no removal of wires or loss of power and unknown why this has occurred. May I kindly request for urgent assistance in my matter. I'm attempting to clone the SSD that may contain bad sectors before attempting to repair. Kind regards, Roger References 1. https://www.tenforums.com/drivers-hardware/202207-samsung-ssd-2-5-evo-970-raw-corruption-ntfs.html#post2508531
