Although not the biggest player in the external hard drive market like Western Digital, Seagate, or Toshiba, Samsung is still a reliable choice and used by many for its trustworthy product. So, it is very frustrating when you lose data from it. But no need to worry, just by following proper precautions and steps Samsung external Hard Drive data recovery becomes simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, before, we get into recovery methods let us see some precautionary steps you should take to reduce the risk of further data loss and increase the chances of successful recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Precautions: When Samsung External Hard Drive Loses Data<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Stop Using the Drive<\/strong>: This is the most crucial step. Stop using the drive, if you suspect that your drive has issues immediately stop using the drive.
