SSD data recovery service

Our SSD (solid-state drive) data recovery service is THE solution if you’ve lost data from one of these intricate, cutting-edge pieces of finely-tuned technology.

Although solid-state drives are more reliable than hard disk drives, they can still develop faults that result in the disappearance of data.

Today’s SSDs can be notoriously difficult to access. And even if you do manage to get inside one, you’ll be faced with a bewildering array of microchips containing encryption coding and complex algorithms.

Signs of a failing SSD that could result in data loss

Unlike a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid-state drive has no moving components. Instead of storing data on a spinning, magnetically-coated metal platter, an SSD uses an inter-connected system of flash memory chips that retains information when you switch off your computer.

An SSD is faster in kick-starting your computer, transferring files, and running programs. A further advantage of solid-state drives is that they don’t suffer from fragmentation, which occurs when a hard disk drive begins to fill up and large files get scattered around the platter.

The lack of moving parts also makes an SSD more durable against physical impact than hard disk drives. This is why even though SSDs cost more, yet the storage capacity available is smaller than hard drives, they’re now popularly used as external drives and in NAS (network attached storage) appliances, RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks), and computer servers.

That said, one potential problem with SSDs is that flash memory stores data as electrical charges, which over time build up and weaken capacity. And SSDs are vulnerable to power surges or outages.

Warning signs of a failing SSD include:

• A Bad Block error message. This happens when your computer can’t read or save a file.
• File System Needs Repair warning.
• Your computer frequently crashes on boot-up.
• The drive becomes read-only.

The specialist SSD data recovery service of TOTL/Greenergy markedly increases the chance of retrieving all your lost data

In some ways, recovering data from a failed SSD can be more difficult than a hard disk. The specific challenges not faced by data recovery services related to hard disk drives include things like proprietary algorithms and encryption and use of epoxy-like substances on chips.

Modern SSD drives in laptops are also far more difficult to access. These computers can be extremely thin, and reaching the casing screws may be impossible for a layman. Even if you can open the casing, many solid-state drives are still inaccessible, sometimes being soldered directly onto other components.

Hence, the viable option to recover data from a dead SSD would be to enlist the help of a professional data recovery company. They’ll open your device in a cleanroom and have the right sockets to match the proprietary connectors.

The sooner you call in the experts after losing SSD data, the better your chances that they can achieve a full data recovery.
