SSD seemingly dead, possible to recover data on it?

[morpheus6677]

Hey I've been using a self built PC with 2*2TB Sasmung 980 Pros for a bit over a year now. I've been mostly using one SSD for now, about 1.8TB of 2TB of data including the OS were on that one SSD. Few days ago when starting the PC I ran into a SMART error and I couldn't boot into Windows even when disabling the SMART-test in bios. The SSD seems not to be working at all or maybe it might have gone into read-only mode. I've heard that some 980 Pros had some firmware issues and I might have been affected by that: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/samsung-980-pro-ssd-failures-firmware-update Eitherway I'm not able to start up Windows and thus not able to backup my data this way. 

 

Are there any other options to retrieve and backup my data from the SSD or even clone it onto another SSD?   Thanks for your help

buy a usb to m.2 adapter, slap the drive in, and pull data from there (if possible) to another drive

Such as this one for example?

 

But that would mean I'd have to use my other SSD which is still intact as the boot device for the OS, right?

Provided it's the right form factor for the usb drive.

ANd yes, you'd have to install a new SSD in your system, install windows, then recover data. That's the easiest way
