SSD Data Recovery Service

Get back your lost data with Stellar's SSD Drive Recovery Service

Complete SSD Data Recovery Service from Crashed or Failed SSD Drive

Over the time, the SSD drive fails or crashes, resulting in loss of data. This situation is inevitable and comes unwarranted. Such situations are trying; however, there are different ways to prevent data loss caused due to SSD failure.

What is Solid State Drive (SSD)?

Solid State Drive is a drive that makes use of non-volatile memory to store data. The functionality of SSD is similar to that of a hard disk drive, but the data in a solid state drive is stored on a flash memory card, which is capable of retaining data even in the case of power failure. SSD does not have any moving parts, which helps in accessing the stored data faster, less power consumption and more reliable. However, there are situations when your SSD might stop working suddenly, resulting in data loss.

How data is lost from an SSD?

SSDs are more reliable storage media as compared to a hard drive. It is resistant to temperature fluctuation as well as to strong magnetic fields. Unlike hard disk drives, data loss from an SSD is not possible due to power failure or wearing out of mechanical components over time. However, as the device ages, its components start wearing out and eventually it fails. Unlike HDDs, SSDs do not show any signs and symptoms of damage. The electronic components do not send out any or ticking sound, which is usually taken as a warning to the user about the impending failing of the disk. When the SSD stops working or responding, it is a signal that that disk might have failed, which may result in data loss. Some of the common causes of data loss from an SSD are:

• Failure of electrical components
• Failure of controller chip
• Damage of the capacitor
• Development of bad sectors
• Virus attacks
• Damage to the printed circuit boards
• Damage due to natural disaster
• Water Spilling
• Firmware updates
• Corruption of the flash chips
• Short-circuit
• Human errors such as accidental deletion of data or formatting of SSD
• Software corruption

Do's and Don'ts in case of SSD Failure

The various errors that lead to data loss from an SSD are difficult to manage as compared to HDD, which makes data recovery complicated. However, there are certain do's and don'ts that need to be followed in case of SSD failure. These are:

SSD Recovery Solutions

Data recovery from SSD is highly complicated, particularly in the case of TRIM enabled SSDs. This is so because the TRIM permits the operating system to command the SSD to wipe off the blocks of data that is no longer required. When the data has been erased, and new data is overwritten in that area, data recovery becomes impossible. Furthermore, unlike hard disk drives that have an identical make, SSD's and Flash present unique and different makes, which poses a challenge for SSD recovery.

SSDs have complex data structures that varies from brand to brand as well as regarding specialized controller chips and other SSD specific parameters. Here are few points that make SSD data recovery challenging:

• Address line complexity
• Density of Memory chip
• Error correction code variables
• Encryption and Encoding variations
