I also received many Samsung hard drives with mechanical problems, in general the new series of STORY class kernels that are very vulnerable to shocks. Also from this class we have in service cases with ELECTRICAL problems.
In our service we have developed the best data recovery solutions from HDDs with mechanical defects in Romania, we have the greatest experience in mechanical defects and most cases solved.
We know that the best recommendation is the results so we present you a list of SAMSUNG hardships that have been recovered in our service with various MECHANICAL, ELECTRIC or FIRMWARE problems. Each of the models below has been recovered at least once, and for some models with problems like the HD154UI we have reached 26 recovery procedures.
These are some cases of SAMSUNG hard drives which were recovered in our service, all of these models had reached us with a physical problem.

The classification of problems encountered with SAMSUNG hard drive
There are 3 dimensions of Samsung drives: 3.5"(desktop), 2.5"( laptop) and 1.8"( laptop, iPod, camera video, minilaptop)
In general the 3.5" drive come from desktop computers and are mainly deteriorate due to power fluctuations and they can become unavailable due to FIRMWARE problems.
SAMSUNG 3.5" drive are also used in the interior of external hard disks. You can find more details on the page dedicated to recovery from external hard drives.
The 2.5" and 1.8" most often come into service with mechanical failures as a consequence of hits. There are also hdd which have ELECTRICAL or FIRMWARE problems, but these cases appear more rare.
