SSDs fail differently than hard drives, and recovery requires specialized expertise. We recover data from failed, corrupted, and inaccessible solid-state drives for Long Island customers.
SSDs have no moving parts, so they do not click or grind when they fail. Instead, they simply stop being recognized, become read-only, or lose data without warning. SSD recovery is more complex than traditional hard drive recovery because data is distributed across multiple NAND flash chips and managed by a controller and firmware layer. We use specialized tools that can access NAND chips directly, reconstruct the data layout, and recover files even when the controller has failed.
Controller failure causes the SSD to disappear from your computer entirely. Firmware corruption makes the drive unrecognizable or read-only. NAND flash wear causes data corruption as cells degrade over time. Power surges damage the drive's electronics. We handle all of these failure modes for Long Island customers. Our recovery tools support all major SSD brands including Samsung, Crucial, Western Digital, Kingston, and Intel, covering both SATA and NVMe form factors.
Modern operating systems use TRIM to mark deleted data as available for reuse on SSDs. Once TRIM runs, deleted data may be permanently zeroed out, making recovery impossible. This means timing is critical for SSD recovery. If you have accidentally deleted files from an SSD, stop using the drive immediately to prevent TRIM from overwriting the data. Power off your computer and call us. The sooner we start, the higher the chances of successful recovery.
SSD data recovery on Long Island ranges from $200 for logical recoveries like accidental formatting to $500 to $1,200 for controller and firmware failures requiring chip-level recovery. The complexity varies significantly by SSD model and failure type. We provide a free evaluation and exact quote before starting work. No data, no charge. Call (516) 407-8111 to start the evaluation.
In many cases, yes. When an SSD is not recognized by any computer, we can often bypass the failed controller by reading the NAND flash chips directly. We reconstruct the data using the SSD's mapping algorithms. Success depends on whether the NAND chips themselves are intact. Our success rate for controller-failed SSDs exceeds 80%. Bring your SSD to us for a free evaluation. Call (516) 407-8111.
Once TRIM has zeroed out deleted data, that data is generally not recoverable. This is why speed is critical. If you accidentally deleted files, immediately power off the computer to prevent TRIM from running. If the SSD failed rather than having files deleted, TRIM is not a concern since the operating system never had a chance to issue TRIM commands. Call (516) 407-8111 immediately for the best recovery chances.
Logical SSD recovery typically takes 1-3 business days. Chip-level recovery requiring NAND flash reading and reconstruction takes 5-10 business days depending on the SSD capacity and complexity. We provide estimated timelines after the free evaluation. Rush service is available for critical business data at an additional fee. Call (516) 407-8111 to discuss your situation.
