Solid State Drive Recovery
Get Your Data Back In No Time.
Solid State Drives (SSDs) are fast, reliable, and small. However, if they fail, you need special tools and skills to recover your data. At Five Star Data Recovery, we offer expert-level SSD data recovery for all makes and models.
If you have a logical failure, controller issue, or file system corruption, we can help. We recover data from solid-state hard drives quickly and securely. Our team handles everything from deleted files to physical damage. If your SSD is no longer recognized, has been formatted, or has suffered a sudden power loss, don't panic. We use professional tools to recover the data and get you back on track.

What We Can Recover
Our professional data recovery services cover a wide range of issues and file types. We can recover:
- Documents, photos, and video files
- Files from damaged file systems and corrupted partitions
- Deleted files from formatted SSDs
- Lost partitions and boot sectors
- Data from an SSD affected by a failed OS update
- Files from SSDs used in RAID arrays or enterprise systems
- Data affected by ransomware, partition table damage, or accidental OS reinstallation
- Data from SSDs with failing NAND chips, bad sectors, or firmware corruption
Common SSD Data Loss Scenarios
Even though SSDs are more durable than hard drives, they still fail. Here are some common data loss scenarios we see with solid state drives:
- Accidental deletion or formatted SSD
- Power surge or sudden shutdown during data transfer
- File system corruption and boot issues
- Firmware bugs or controller failure
- Trimmed files that bypass the recycle bin
- Liquid or impact-related physical damage
If you've experienced any of these events, stop using the drive immediately. The sooner we receive the SSD, the higher the chance we can recover your data.
Some SSDs may also suffer from gradual performance degradation, eventually leading to read-only status. Power interruptions and aging memory cells can cause this behavior — especially in lower-grade or heavily used SSDs. Our tools allow us to access the NAND memory directly and attempt recovery even when standard connections fail.
Our SSD Data Recovery Process
Initial Assessment and Diagnostics
We begin by evaluating the SSD to determine whether the failure is logical, physical, or firmware-related.
Non-Invasive Imaging
If possible, we create a complete sector-by-sector clone of the SSD to ensure data safety and integrity.
Firmware or Component-Level Repair
We perform advanced firmware fixes or physical repairs when the SSD has controller, NAND, or PCB-related issues.
File System and Data Recovery
We analyze the image to reconstruct file systems, recover lost partitions, and extract user data.
Data Approval and Delivery
We provide a recovery report, and once approved, transfer the data securely to a new storage device or through encrypted delivery.
How SSDs Work & Why It's Different
Unlike traditional hard drives, an SSD has no moving parts. It stores data on flash memory chips and uses a controller to manage data placement. This makes it faster and more durable than spinning disks. However, recovering data from an SSD needs a different approach.
SSDs rely on wear leveling, block management, and background processes that continuously change how and where data is stored. These features make recovering data from solid state disks more complex — especially when built-in encryption exists or when a firmware failure occurs.
TRIM Command and Its Impact on Recovery
One challenge with SSD data recovery is the TRIM command. When TRIM is enabled, the SSD can permanently erase deleted files in the background. This makes recovery almost impossible after a while. That's why time is critical.
If you've accidentally deleted files or formatted the SSD, stop using it immediately. Continuing to write new data can trigger TRIM and erase previously recoverable content. Our engineers know how to find lost data and use best practices for working with trimmed and partially overwritten blocks.
SSD Brands and Devices We Support
We recover data from SSDs used in desktops, laptops, servers, and external enclosures. Brands we support include:
- Samsung, SanDisk, Crucial, Kingston, Intel
- Western Digital, Seagate, Toshiba, SK Hynix
- Apple SSDs, NVMe drives, PCIe M.2, and SATA III SSDs
If your SSD isn't listed here, don't worry — we likely support it. Our lab has the equipment and experience to recover data from all types of storage devices.
Reviews from Satisfied Clients
Don't take our word for it. Here's what our clients have to say about their experience with Five Star Data Recovery.
“My Samsung SSD suddenly stopped working and wasn't showing up on any computer. I was sure my business documents were lost forever. The team at Five Star Data Recovery explained the process and within a few days, they recovered everything I needed. Great service and great communication.”
“My Crucial SSD suddenly showed 0GB capacity and none of my data was accessible. I dropped it off with Five Star Data Recovery, and within days, they recovered over 95% of my files. They kept me updated every step of the way and there were no hidden fees.”
“When my Seagate SSD stopped working after a power surge, I thought everything was gone. The engineers explained the issue in simple terms and reassured me they had handled many cases like mine. A few days later, I had my important photos and documents back. Highly recommend!”
