SSD Data Recovery

Data Clinic have been successfully recovering hard drive data since 2002 and in that time we have seen thousands of SSDs that have come to us for recovery. Our SSD recovery knowledge is extensive and the hardware and software tools we have at our disposal are cutting edge.

SSD’s usually fail for the following reasons

• Firmware problems – The SSD is no longer recognised or is recognised incorrectly
• Electronic faults – The SSD will often get very hot
• Physical damage – Dropped, crushed etc.
• Damaged controller
• Logical data corruption
• Accidental deletion of files and folders

Data Clinic’s SSD Data Recovery Process

SSD’s or Solid State Drives to give them their full title are relatively new devices that store computer data in non-volatile memory chips and contain no moving parts – simply imagine a memory stick that plugs into your computer’s USB port but with a much larger storage capacity and you have in essence what an SSD actually is. SSD’s are very different to their conventional hard disk drive (HDD) counterparts that use magnetically coated rotating platters to hold data. Compared to hard drives, SSDs are typically less prone to physical damage and are far more resilient. It’s important to note however, that this does not mean they are indestructible. SSD’s still fail at rates similar to HDD’s. but in different ways. Popular brands of SSD hard disk drive are manufactured by Samsung, Crucial, Kingston and Sandisk. There is not one type of SSD that is better than all the rest – all SSD’s suffer problems and fail from time to time, Data Clinic recover the data from typically 5-10 SSD hard disk drives per week and so have a great deal of knowledge and experience in SSD faults and problems.
