What does Samsung do?
Samsung is a South Korean company specializing in electronic equipment ranging from household appliances such as microwaves, fridges, washing machines, among others, to high-tech equipment such as smartphones, tablets, computers, etc.

Unfortunately, however, as with any brand, the devices can eventually fail.
Why can data be lost from a Samsung disk?
There are several reasons why data on a hard disk can be lost.
These include poor care of the equipment, such as:
Removing the hard disk without the necessary care
When removing a hard disk or USB drive from the computer, it is important to remove the device correctly with the option Safely remove hardware in order to prevent the device from being suddenly removed while still reading or writing data.
Improper handling
Incorrect handling of equipment can lead to falls and impacts that damage the internal parts of the device.
Viruses and malware
A number of viruses and malware aim to damage files and even the data structure of the hard disk, causing data loss.
Human errors
Sometimes, data loss is even related to simple human errors such as accidentally deleting all the files instead of only deleting the unwanted ones.
Finally, data can also be lost if, for some reason, the hard disk has had to be formatted.
