How to restore erased boot Samsung SSD?

Attempt to sanitize for resale.

Error message during erase claimed erase not possible with other activity still running. So I powered off the power switch and attempted reboot. But, no longer can see boot drive.

Still have original Apple 1TB drive as secondary

Mac mini, macOS 10.15

Hi Qormic,


Does Disk Utility see the Samsung SSD? If it does, is it still formatted correctly? How to repair a Mac disk with Disk Utility - Apple Support


If the answers above are both “yes”, if you included the external drive in a Time Machine backup, you should be able to restore the information: Restore your Mac from a backup - Apple Support


If you’re not able to see the Samsung drive at all, we recommend reaching out to Apple Support for further help: Get Support


Best regards.
