Urgent Support Needed: SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD Not Detectable
Dear Support Team,
I am writing to request assistance with my SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD, which has become undetectable after I attempted to use it with my iPhone 15 Pro Max.
After connecting the SSD to the iPhone via a compatible cable, the drive has stopped being recognized by any device. I have also tried accessing the SSD using a different enclosure (ASUS), but it still does not work. This leads me to believe there may be some form of restriction or firmware lock implemented on factory-fitted SanDisk SSDs, preventing usage with third-party enclosures or after certain connection types.
I have attempted recovery using the SanDisk recovery software, but unfortunately, it was unsuccessful.
Could you please advise on the following:
- Is there a firmware lock or compatibility restriction that may have been triggered?
- Can the SSD be reset, repaired, or restored to factory settings?
- If not, is there a service center where I can send the SSD for repair or data recovery?
I would appreciate your urgent support in resolving this issue as there is important data on the drive.
Looking forward to your guidance.

Hi @lexus68723
You can check if there's power getting to the SSD by connecting it via a USB-C pass through power meter (examples only) to see if current is being supplied to the SSD or not.
If there isn't then the SSD is not being powered and it won't be able to be detected
