Samsung Spinpoint hard drive data recovery
Samsung’s hard drive business was sold to Seagate in 2011, but millions of Spinpoint drives are still in old PCs, laptops and USB enclosures. We recover data from all of them.
About the Spinpoint hard drives
Later Spinpoint drives such as the M9T (ST1000LM024) carry Seagate model numbers. Parts for the older models are getting harder to find, so we keep donor drives in stock.
Clicking, beeping or silent Spinpoints need a clean room diagnostic first; deleted files on a healthy drive are recovered without opening it.
