SSD Data Recovery

404Dataxperts, specialists in recovering data from hard drives. Solid state drives (SSD) are storage devices that have gradually replaced the old electromagnetic drives. Gone are the days when SSDs were a less accessible option to consider, their popularity has increased enormously so it is increasingly common to see them in computers as the disk responsible for hosting the operating system.

Unlike conventional drives, SSDs have no moving parts, their energy consumption is lower, they are quieter and faster. But they are not exempt from failures and as a consequence cause accidental data loss. The most common failures that we can find in SSD drives are the following:

• Accidental deletion of data
• Failure in the microchip controller
• The unit shows an incorrect size
• Inaccessible partitions
• Corrupt file systems.
• Virus encryption
• Electronic failures, disks affected by short circuits
• Physical damage to broken connectors
• Damage from fire or flooding

The process of recovering an SSD hard drive is truly complex, the data is stored by executing an algorithm that the controller manages, in an interleaved and encrypted manner in each of the NAND FLASH chips that make up the SSD drive, if one of these chips fails or if the controller fails the disk is no longer accessible. That is why only a highly qualified company in recovering hard drive data will be able to extract or recover the information.
