Well I took the disk out of the box and after plugging it into the PC and reading it I put it back in the box and it crashed… damn samsung hard drives... anyway I'm now with another toshiba disk with less capacity formatting in XFS and looking to see how to make it work on OSX.
:ffu:

No, when you turn it on it makes a clack clack clack sound and doesn't stop… I don't think it can be fixed. I've never had Samsung hard drives, I've never swallowed them, it's had some good models especially 3.5" ones but in 2.5" like Toshiba it's nothing like Samsung.
-
I feel very sorry for the loss, but Samsung has always given me problems and they never lasted more than 2 years
Best regards

Come on, but it's a 2.5"… mine is a 3.5" and so far the only one of that size that has failed me has been the LaCie F.A. Porsche 500Gb, the controller broke down 6 years after I bought it and because I gave it more trips than a taxi in London... it was also left on for thousands of hours, I had the mule installed on it downloading 24/7... :ugly:
To be honest, I don't trust 2.5" ones much, I think they're not much, and besides, they've brought me many damaged ones after 2 or 3 years and even by putting some SATA ones directly into the motherboard to try to rescue data they've ended up messing up the main disk :ffu:

The thing is that I have lost files, give them the disk even though it was quite new but I bought it mainly because of the box... Anyway it hasn't been a good day. The 2.5 ones are exactly the same, the difference is that you move them a lot more than a big one and in a box you often can't dismantle it before unplugging at the end so they break, so either it's a good disk or it doesn't last... -
Yes, basically that's how it is, and when you give more trips to a 2.5" it ends up taking more hits…
Haven't you been able to try taking it out of the box again and running an Easy Recovery?>> i7-2600K Sandy Bridge @4.4GHz || Noctua NH-D14 || ASRock Z77 Extreme4 || 4x8Gb G.Skill Ripjaws X DDR3 1600MHz || XFX RX 5700 XT 8Gb || SSD Samsung 850 PRO 256Gb & 850 EVO 500Gb || WD Caviar Green 1Tb || Barracuda 1Tb || Corsair TX650 V2 || M-Audio Fast Track Pro || KRK RP8 RoKit G3 || BenQ GW2750 27"

It doesn't even show up on the device list, it just moves the head from side to side. -
Ugh... Bad thing then :cry:
Already to finish testing something, put it back internally but try to boot with Hirens Boot and see if it detects it with any of the hard drive programs (Partition Magic, Paragon, Fdisk...)
If any of them detects it, try to put a quick format in a common format like NTFS or FAT32 and see if it detects it later in the system's disk manager (preferably Windows) and thus be able to pass an Easy Recovery.If nothing works, I would still try the Active Kill Disk, to put a low-level format and try to, at least, reuse the disk and not have to throw it away.

You have probably already solved the problem but in case you left it parked, after an "accident" Samsung has released the exFat source code which means that soon there will be support for partitioning tools.
