Recovering data from
Solid State Drives
While Hard Disk Drives are more common, Solid State Drives
are also becoming more prevalent in many computing devices. The main difference
between HDDs and SSDs is that HDDs use magnetic recording while SSDs use electronic
recording to store data. HDDs use aluminum or glass platters which are coated
with a super thin magnetic alloy while SSDs use a NAND flash. As such because
SSDs don’t have any mechanical parts, they are less prone to failure and
therefore more reliable.
However, SSDs do also fail. Reasons for failure may include;
system corruption, electronics failure and environmental influences. When SSDs
do failure, sometimes they may go with very important data you are not ready to
lose. This could be bad news because since they are relatively new, they are no
defined ways of recovering data from them such as is the case with hard disk
drives.
Although there is not much you can do to recover data in your
SSD, there are several data recovery software you can use from various vendors
although there are no free options at the moment. This software may help you
recover your lost data but the prognosis could be worse if your drive uses
TRIM. This is because TRIM organizes your data for easy and quick access with a
downside of aggressively deleting your files in case of failure.
