SSD DATA RECOVERY

Unlike hard drives which operate based on magnetism and movement and offer “nonvolatile” memory, SSDs use flash memory. While hard drives physically “write” data onto the disk using physical components, flash memory uses memory chips to store and access information.

The memory chips change the state of electric charge to store data. While hard drives are constantly in motion, SSDs are not – the only movement inside is produced by these electrical patterns.

SSDs are becoming more popular because there are no moving parts inside. Components that move wear out and can easily be damaged. Although SSDs have a limited lifespan, they are more reliable because there is less chance of physical damage causing the drive to fail.

What’s more, electricity moves faster than magnetism. SSDs can read and write data at impressive speeds at a fraction of the power of an HDD. Less heat builds up, and no fragmentation occurs. 

An SSD is also typically smaller and lighter than a hard drive, adding portability and versatility when it comes to creating business systems. 

Finally, features and improvements like error-correcting code lower SSD failure rates, and the lifespan of an SSD is significantly longer than a HDD – most of the time. 

The advantages of using SSDs are clear. However, some of the more unique features that make SSDs appealing to consumers are also challenges to most data recovery companies when the drive fails. 

An example of an SSD feature that makes data recovery services difficult is self-encrypting models. All data is typically stored in an encrypted format on the SSD by default. While encryption keys can decrypt your data, these keys might be stored in an area that has died, like the controller on the circuit board. 

This can make data recovery next to impossible for many companies. Clearly, if you need to recover important data or deleted files from your drive, you must choose an SSD data recovery company with a significant amount of expertise

If your SSD is losing data, ensure that it is turned off. An SSD can overwrite files while it is operating, which can reduce your chances of file recovery. SSDs may also suffer from physical or memory issues. By keeping your drive powered off, you’ll keep your storage media in its original condition. 

If you need to recover deleted files, you need to call upon data recovery engineers with specific SSD data recovery experience. 

Solid state drive recovery is an intricate process due to unique features and TRIM technology. When a file is deleted, TRIM technology will ensure that it is completely removed from the SSD.

If you have lost files because of corruption, error or another reason, you’ll need to work with an SSD recovery service that can work with TRIM technology to recover deleted files. 

SSD failures often catch businesses off guard, but the consequences can be serious. That’s why when you’re dealing with important data, we can offer you options to help you deal with turnaround time. 

When you contact us, you will be speaking directly to a technician, so you can expect a dependable, thorough and expert opinion about your situation immediately as you describe your specific experience to us. 

If you choose to have us evaluate your SSD drives, we can determine if recovered files are possible, and if they are, offer a reasonable quote and dependable timeline.
