I have been using for 2 or 3 years this 1tb ssd with 2 partitions 1 as ntfs one as ext4. Everything worked well. No password on the disk and no encryption (no bitlocker or luck encryption).
After moving to a new laptop, I decided to format the ssd and move it on to the new laptop, simple operation as it worked with the other nvme disk.
But the ssd wouldn’t be accessible anymore. On windows 10, attached with a cable and also as an internal drive, the behavior is the same, I can see the drive but can not format it (quick format or secure).
On linux, I have tried a few command but at first, using the “disk” utility, it shows as
model:SABRENT SABRENT (0204) aka SAMSUNG SSD 850 EVO
SN:DB9876543214E
using gdisk -l /dev/sdd
I get

Any idea?
Possible to use this drive again?
