SSD data recovery
An SSD does not behave like a hard drive. After TRIM, deleted files may be gone for good. We say that before you pay anything.
If recovery is not possible, you pay nothing. After diagnostics we tell you what is still there and the scale of the work. +372 56 766 733 · info@taastaandmed.ee
Why SSD recovery is a different job
An SSD hides data in NAND and a controller. The operating system uses TRIM to say those blocks are free - and the drive may actually erase them. That is why “I deleted it by accident” is often harder on SSD than on HDD, not easier.
The other typical picture: the drive was there yesterday, today it is 0 bytes or not detected. That is often the controller or firmware, not “a Windows glitch”. Free tools that expect a normal filesystem then see nothing - and writing to the same SSD makes it worse.
We take SATA SSDs, NVMe/M.2 sticks and SSDs in USB enclosures. We do not take RAID, NAS or a whole laptop; if the SSD is inside a laptop, bring the module or ask how to remove it.
What to expect
If the files are still there logically (a format without TRIM, a removed partition), there is hope. If TRIM already did its job or the NAND does not answer, we say the job is not worth it. This is not “let’s try anyway on your invoice” - if the files cannot be retrieved, you do not pay.
SSD FAQ
Can every SSD be recovered?
No. TRIM and a dead controller are two common walls. The honest answer comes from diagnostics, not a 98% promise.
