SSD Recovery
SSDs fail differently from spinning disks — there are no heads to crash, but their reliance on flash translation layers, wear-levelling algorithms, and onboard controllers introduces its own recovery challenges.
Understanding the Problem
SSDs fail differently from spinning disks — there are no heads to crash, but their reliance on flash translation layers, wear-levelling algorithms, and onboard controllers introduces its own recovery challenges.
We recover from dead or corrupted controllers, failed firmware updates, NAND cell degradation, and TRIM-related data loss, working directly with the raw NAND chips when the controller itself cannot be revived.
Because SSDs actively manage and remap data internally, timing matters: continuing to use a failing SSD accelerates data loss, so we recommend powering the drive down and contacting us immediately.
Common Failure Symptoms
- Drive is recognized but reports 0 GB or an incorrect capacity
- System becomes read-only or refuses to write new files
- Sudden disappearance of the drive from BIOS/Disk Management
- Extremely slow boot times followed by total unresponsiveness
- Data loss following a firmware update or unexpected power loss
- Corrupted files with no apparent cause on a previously healthy drive
Our Recovery Process
A disciplined, four-stage workflow protects your data at every step — from intake to secure return.
Diagnosis
We inspect the device, identify the failure type (mechanical, logical, firmware, or physical) and give you a transparent quote before any work begins.
Evaluation
Our engineers run a deeper imaging and diagnostic pass in a controlled environment to map exactly what is recoverable and what approach is safest.
Recovery
Using cleanroom hardware, donor parts, and tools like PC-3000, we image the media sector-by-sector and reconstruct your file system and files.
Return
Recovered data is verified, indexed, and delivered on encrypted media or secure transfer — with your original device returned or securely disposed of.
