SSDs fail differently from hard drives. There’s no clicking, they simply stop appearing, show the wrong size, or lock into a read-only state. We recover data from NVMe, M.2 and SATA SSDs from all the main brands.
SSD faults we recover from
- SSD not detected by the computer
- Wrong capacity or model name reported
- Controller and firmware failures
- Drives that went read-only
- Deleted files and formatted drives
- SSDs from liquid-damaged laptops
A note on TRIM
When you delete a file on an SSD, the drive may erase it permanently within minutes. If you have deleted something important, stop using the computer straight away and bring it in.
Apple silicon Macs and many thin laptops have storage soldered to the motherboard. In those cases we repair the board to bring the data back.
Questions we get asked
Can you recover an encrypted SSD?
Yes, as long as you have the password or recovery key, for example your BitLocker key.
Is SSD recovery more expensive than hard drive recovery?
It can be, because controller faults need specialist tools. We give you a price before any recovery work.
