read only ssd
-
I have a m.2 that is in a read only mode, after an electrical disruption. I have tried all the online solutions without luck. Is there a relatively simple solution to this ? ( windows 10 OS)

What make and model of m.2? this might be useful -

@gjacobse Samsung 970 EVO

Here some some results that may help:
One suggestion is the Samsung tool: "Please check your drive using Samsung Magician too"
SSD 970 EVO PLUS in read-only and shop wants me to send it - what would you recommend
Suggests saving what you can and move on.
M.2 NVMe Boot SSD locked in Read-Only
If you can read it, you can recover data and move on,.. Check warranty of the drive, but depending on what is on it,.. do you (risk)warranty replacing it? I generally always get a new drive and retain the old drives, make copies and pull the drive apart (platters and magnets) and anything solid state gets the hammer fire treatment. My bench is a black hole to drives or any type of storage.

@gjacobse Thanks, I have tried the recommended ones from Microsoft, the diskpart now shows it is out of "read only" , but it is a false reading. I can access some of the data ( most data is saved to server)m but users always know better (LOL). Next I will try dd and see how that goes, I suspect I may (low probability) be able to "fix" the installation after running dd. Thanks again. I was hoping for something I had not heard/seen.
