Its best to replace it with similar diode, but if you don't have one, make sure you have good Power supply, remove that diode by cutting it out, connect a drive and copy your data off of it. Remember, your drive won't have any protection, so if there any spikes in power or any other shorted parts, you can create ma bigger problem.

Samsung SATA disc or external storage device are really outstanding. They offer durability. But I don’t think that they are as durable as compared to WD or Toshiba. Anyway, I try my luck with this Samsung thing I and will review about it soon.
