Hello All,
Just my 2cents to this subject.
I've come across a similar situation on a PM863a
Samsung SSD 3,8TB Sata with a Firmware version 'ERRORMOD' and a size reported of 1GB.
I use a HP Z840 with LSI controller to attach the SSD.
The SSD could not be used and is not recognized by the standard tools form
Samsung, like Magician v 6.21.
However, I could find an older version of this software, V2 and 32 bits, at:
Enterprise SSD Products | Download | Samsung V-NAND SSD
With this version you have the ability using the following flags in a command window as Administrator
