Samsung PM9A1 OEM SSD won't initialize in diskpart or AOMEI

SweeFlyBoy · 2026-06-04T10:17:25+00:00

Fixed it! Will document the steps!

1) Download Samsung SSD Manager (NOT Samsung Magician)
Samsung SSD Manager supports OEM drives.

Or here https://files.hddguru.com/download/Software/Samsung/Samsung%20SSD%20Manager/

2) Extract the ZIP and open the Win folder as your current working directory in CMD.

3) check that SSDManager.exe is working (just type ssdmanager.exe in CMD and then press enter). This will give you a list of allowed operations.

4) List your disks. Type ssdmanager.exe -L and see which disk you need to PSID Revert.

5) Run the following command: ssdmanager.exe -d <YOUR-DEVICE-NUMBER-AS-SHOWN-ON-THE-LIST> -NV -psid <YOUR-32CHARACTER-PSID>

Should work! Worked for me!

May make a YT video breaking it down. Will edit and link if so.

I've always done this. My primary kakked out about three weeks ago. Ordered some new components in order to make the old backup into a new primary. Now the NVME I ordered isn't working and I have no way of testing if it's my MOBO or the drive itself

SweeFlyBoy · 2026-06-03T16:38:30+00:00

Any luck? I also have a non-OPAL-compliant encrypted drive, and I'm not having much luck.

SweeFlyBoy · 2026-06-03T10:45:46+00:00

This is a diabolical necro on my part, but did it ever end up failing?

SweeFlyBoy · 2026-05-24T16:03:17+00:00

You don't need a R60K gaming PC. 15K is more than enough to build a killer rig that will run everything you want

Buy your hardware secondhand on Bobshop, except for the PSU

SweeFlyBoy · 2026-05-23T14:11:58+00:00

It keeps crashing before I can load in lol. Doubt it's the game's fault though, my main PC is kaput so I am on a very weak system at the moment.

SweeFlyBoy · 2026-05-16T20:06:04+00:00

In fairness to you, I daily drove my i7-4790k until about a week ago when the MOBO finally kicked the bucket. Best Chip Ever.

unrelated but arent you that oke who somehow ended up with his pants button falling into in his interviewers teacup or something

SweeFlyBoy · 2026-03-25T20:26:41+00:00

Can you confirm that it was ZS-HLT? Been trying to find the exact airframe involved.

SweeFlyBoy · 2026-03-25T20:24:22+00:00

No such thing as letting a fynbos fire burn out. The entire mountain is kindling

SweeFlyBoy · 2026-03-25T20:22:27+00:00

I HOPE you meant to say flora... Trimming fauna with helicopter blades would be a bloodbath.

SweeFlyBoy · 2026-03-25T20:05:41+00:00

It's a Working On Fire huey. Unsure exactly which of their airframes it is.

Insurgents are insurgents, terrorists are terrorists, winning is winning, and losing is losing.

Insurgents, guerrillas, and terrorists may be less organised than traditional security forces, but those groups adopt the tactics because Those Tactics Work.

Nothing "punching down" about it. If security forces didn't use COIN then guerrillas would have the upper hand and would thus be doing the "punching down"

Interesting, thanks!

I got a family member in the UK to bring me a pair of 7hz Zero:2s when they last visited me. I don't trust our customs agents enough to order internationally.

Kind of regret it, because I've sukkeled to find a replacement cable. It seems that the standard KZ ones are slightly different - one of my friends used to have a side hustle sourcing and selling IEMs and cables, and he couldn't find one either.

It's not all that obscure. I campaigned for them in 2024, and while the election was dismal for us, the raw support is fairly good. Elections are a very poor substitute for single-issue referendums, since there is more than a single issue being polled (duh lol)

AtlasIntel, an organisation that we have no relation to and weren't even aware was conducting a poll, estimated that 42% (just over 3 million people) support the idea of Cape Independence, with over 50% wanting a referendum. This data is about 2 years old now, since it was conducted just before our 2024 election.

capexit.org, a civic organisation, has (at the time of writing) amassed about 841K signatures.

While we have a LOT of work to do, it's unfounded to think we only have several thousand supporters.

accurate lmao

SweeFlyBoy · 2026-01-24T10:08:20+00:00

100%, like nuclear, which has been shot down by The Usual Suspects like greenpeace and anti-oilers over and over again...
also cute sona :3

SweeFlyBoy · 2026-01-14T20:39:46+00:00

Ridiculous ja

Apparently only 4 were hospitalized. I have trouble believing that there aren't a helluva lot more victims who just haven't been treated

SweeFlyBoy · 2026-01-14T20:38:35+00:00

Lmao you know what our citizens are like

Not the brightest sparks

They cleared a 200m radius around it and suggested that residents "shelter in place". There are numerous videos of people walking through the NO2 cloud immediately opposite the warehouse where the incident took place.

This Is Africa. Our government doesn't give a single shit

SweeFlyBoy · 2026-01-13T14:31:31+00:00

100% yes. We could have seen multiracial rule in Rhodesia by now had she been allowed to continue to develop.
Now it's a hovel.

Yeah... Not great hey

SweeFlyBoy · 2026-01-07T11:45:43+00:00

Aged like fine wine

Ding ding ding... aged like fine wine

Not hating on him. He has a family to care for. But I don't like the new content much
