SSD 535: no boot, ID SandForce

[GLemelin]

Hello!

I got a crash with my PC (CPU overheat due to heat-sink support break), and let it off for few month (time to get a new heat-sink plate, do the repair:  not my main PC).

Now the SSD is 'bricked':  no boot (Win10).  It seems to have lost its partitions and even its name.

I re-installed Win10 on a secondary HDD and get the latest 'Intel Memory and Storage Tools' v1.12.172:  the SSD is detected as SandForce, so the tool doesn't want to continue (as it is not recognized an Intel SSD).

The BIOS and DiskManager shows 'SandForce 200026BB' instead of the Intel real ID.

I also tried connecting the SSD on a second PC without more success.

How can I recover the data on this SSD?

Model is SSDSC2BW120H6

Thanks for your help!

Hello!

Here's a photograph of the label (back) of my SSD.

I also tried to use it on a second PC, with the same ID from the BIOS and DiskManager.

I have to see what's the cost to try to retreive data form this SSD.

Regards,

Guylain
