    Understanding SSD Failure and Data Recovery

    They’re fast, sturdy, energy efficient and compact. Solid State Drives (SSDs) make a strong case for themselves when it comes to replacing traditional Hard Disk Drives (HDDs). However, when it comes to data corruption, many believe that a lack of moving parts makes an SSD infallible. Although it is more resilient to physical damage from shocks and bumps as compared to an HDD, there are cases where things go wrong. While SSD data recovery methods exist, it’s important to understand how SSDs are susceptible to failure, identify symptoms and prevent data loss.

    Bad Blocks

    SSDs store data in blocks. An error in writing the data to the disk will result in compromised data fragments or ‘bad blocks’. This issue can be identified by frequent saving/reading failures, slower performance, and frequent crashes, especially when dealing with large files.

    Wear and Tear

    SSDs use NAND flash memory. Any pre-existing data on the NAND cell is erased before new data is written or rather ‘programmed’ onto it. This programming and erasing (P/E) cycle requires a certain voltage across the electrical components of the drive. Over multiple P/E cycles, these components start to degrade resulting in read and write failures.

    File System Repair

    If a computer or file system requires repair but scans detect no physical damage then there may be an issue with the SSD connector port. In some cases it could also be because the system was not shut down properly.

    Crashing

    If the system crashes on boot and takes several attempts to boot up then that could be a possible SSD failure. It is imperative to take a backup of all system data before proceeding to troubleshooting the problem.

    Read-only Mode

    Although uncommon, some corrupt SSDs may not allow data to be written. However, while the SSD is in read-only mode, a backup can be taken before finding a solution.

    In case of complete failure, one can contact a company that holds expertise in SSD data recovery in Melbourne or any other location. SSD data recovery can pose a series of challenges depending on the data corruption or the physical/electrical damage that the drive sustained. However, it is possible for recovery wizard programs to scan the drive for deleted files and restore partitions and the required files.

    Companies offering SSD or SD data recovery in Melbourne possess the tools and expertise to handle different types of SSD failure. Some centres may suggest specialised services to decrypt and retrieve files depending on the nature of the problem.

    The common adage, ‘better safe than sorry’, applies to data as well. Crashes, power surges, viruses and physical damage can occur without warning. To prevent failure, it’s best to monitor the disk health using a free program. Schedule regular backups to a cloud or an external storage to prevent data loss in the event of an accident.
