Professional SSD data recovery from failed solid state drives.

Specialist recovery for corrupted, failed and inaccessible SSDs using advanced proprietary technology.

Solid state drives (SSDs) store data on NAND flash memory rather than traditional spinning platters. While SSDs have no moving parts, they remain vulnerable to controller failures, firmware corruption, degraded memory cells, electrical faults and file system corruption. Recovering data from SSDs requires specialist expertise and equipment that differs significantly from conventional hard drive recovery.

At Data Recovery Specialists, our engineers have extensive experience recovering data from failed SSDs. Whether you're a global organisation such as Microsoft or a student who has lost an important dissertation, we provide fast, professional and cost-effective SSD recovery services. We have also developed our own proprietary recovery tools, allowing us to retrieve data from many SSDs that other laboratories have declared unrecoverable.

As SSD technology becomes increasingly common in laptops, desktops and enterprise storage, SSD failures are becoming more frequent. We recover data from all leading manufacturers including Samsung, Western Digital, SanDisk, Kingston, Intel, Patriot Memory, Transcend, Crucial and many others using advanced recovery techniques developed specifically for flash-based storage.

Our transparent, no-obligation service begins with a full diagnostic assessment. We provide a detailed report, a list of recoverable files and a fixed quotation before any recovery work begins. Once approved, your recovered data can often be returned within just a few days.

SSD Data Recovery FAQs

Bad Blocks
Similar to bad sectors that are found in hard disk drives, bad blocks are identified when your machine attempts to read or write a file to the SSD, but it is slow or fails. Applications will often freeze or crash.
The File System Needs Repairing
This common error message can appear on-screen if there’s an issue with your connector port, or if there are bad blocks. This can be easily fixed using Chkdsk in Windows or Disk Utility on Macs.
Crashes During Boot
A common sign of a dying solid state drive is frequent crashes during boot. If your computer boots up fine after pressing the reset button a couple of times, it could mean your SSD is about to fail.
Drive Becomes Read-Only
Although not a common symptom, your solid state drive might refuse to let you write any data to the memory. While the drive appears dead, data can still be recovered from it.
Files Can't Be Read or Written
If the system detects a bad block while attempting to write data to the SSD, it will fail. If it detects a bad block after the data has been written, it may be impossible to recover, meaning your data could be lost for good.
Free SSD Diagnostic Evaluation
Our free hard drive data recovery evaluation service will tell you whether your data can be recovered, exactly how much it will cost and how long the data recovery will take. Simply phone or email us for a job number and send your data recovery to us. Your hard drive or media will be photographed, catalogued and bar-coded and the data recovery evaluation will start within an hour of receipt.
