    M2 Sata SSD failed - important data exist

    hi everyone ! I do have a faulty ssd its m2 (sata i do belive). When i plug in to board and boot my pc it stucks on bios forever. I unplug it and it boots fine. I tried usb adapters etc still no dice.
    But I found out that i can enable "ROM" mode (?) by shorting two debug pings at back of ssd. Now i can boot and it shows up as a 1gb drive on my device with "not started" mode. Name that it showed up is : SM59XT2A-80-10000001
    ​My ssd brand is "TWINMOS" which is i do belive just a china rebrand. it is a 256 gb drive. only two storage chip on the thing. I checked if any short etc. didnt find anything all voltage seems fine.

    Anything helps. Thanks.

    I would not see a lot what can be done. Try another m.2 port - usually only one m.2 port on a mobo supports SATA mode. Try usb adapter for m.2 disk.

    Always do backups for important data, and don't buy nonames/chinese disks they are usually crap.

      If the data is important, better to send it to a specialized data recovery firm, than risk destroying the data while you learn.

          GIGABYTE X299 AORUS ULTRA GAMING - SATA PORTS 4-7 NOT WORKING ???
          by DynaxSC
          Hi,

          I have the above mentioned bord after repair, which was related to a lot of missing smd devices on the back of the board.
          There were almost 20 devices missing, caps, resistors and some diodes/mosfets.
          The board is generally working now, all PCIe ports are working, Windows installs normally.

          However I have a problem with SATA ports 4-7 (the board has 8 SATA ports) - disks are not beeing recognized by the BIOS neither by Windows (which is usually normal in case BIOS does not recognize them).
          The SATA 4-7 driver network is quite simple chipset<->buffers/drivers<->SATA...

          Lenovo 11e problems (any sata hdds are not recognized, sleep battery drain)
          by clabr
          Need help to solve some problems with this laptop.

          After working in bed with it one night and heating up too much (probably the cause of this problems) the sata HDD OS windows froze
          After restart the original Sata HDD was not recognized anymore (but works fine in other laptops or PCs)

          Tried connecting other good Sata 2.5 HDDs but not one is working in this laptop anymore (not the original nor others)

          Before this had happened I observed some other problems:
          When I tried replacing original mecanical HDD with a SSD HDD could not get them...

          Pegatron M2N78-LA (rev. 3.02) freezes on POST with SATA drives attached
          by momaka
          Like the title says, I have a Pegatron M2N78-LA (HP P/N: 513430-002) motherboard out of an HP Pavilion PC. The motherboard hard-locks during POST when it gets to the part of trying to detect the SATA devices *only* if there is a SATA device (be it HDD or optical drive) connected to any of the SATA ports. I cannot enter BIOS or do anything when this occurs. Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del cannot restart the system either. In fact, the keyboard locks up too (Num Lock status LED cannot be toggled anymore.). However, if I disconnect everything from the motherboard's SATA ports, the motherboard can POST successfully...
