Concelor Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I recently bought an old HP Gen 8 server from a mom and pop architecture firm going out of business The hardware itself is nothing special but inside i was shocked to find 8 2TB Samsung Pro 850 SSDs What a find for a 500 bucks But their previous IT guy for some reason locked each drive with a password I've tried a bunch of things to crack these dries open I don't want any of the data at all just hoping to utilize the drives for my home server I thought I would put the question to the experts who always help me in the past with server questions Anyone know a way to get into an 850 SSD that has a hard drive password on it? More than willing to part with one as payment if someone can assist Quote Link to comment
