What is SSD?
SSD hard drive stands for the phrase “Solid-State Drive” which is a solid state drive. SSDs function similarly to HDDs, but instead of being coated with a magnetic layer on the surface of the hard disk, the data stored on the flash memory chips combine and retain data even when the drive is not. power supply.
While SSDs have rightly earned their reputation for high-speed performance, they are not infallible. In fact, generally speaking, the longevity of an SSD seems to be pretty on par with that of an HDD. In other words, despite their many advantages, SSDs are still susceptible to memory deterioration and physical faults. Flash memory wears out over time, while capacitors, power supply, and controller chips all make SSDs prone to electrical failures.
For this reason, it’s crucial for MSPs to understand that SSDs can fail and prepare themselves with adequate precautionary measures to help customers avoid data loss. The bottom line is that SSD death can be unpredictable and unavoidable in some cases, which is why it’s best to learn about preemptive measures and SSD data recovery well in advance of a potential failure.
Some of the common data loss scenarios for SSD
- Physical problems due to a drop or bumped drive
- Disk read/write head failure
- Power surge electronic damage
- Failed PCB (printed circuit board), which can sometimes cause a clicking noise
- Corrupt MBR (Master Boot Record)
- Corrupt partition table
- Damaged interface, such as USB or SATA connector
- Failed fuse, capacitor or resistor
- Bad motor controller
- Failed cache memory
- Failed voltage regulator
SSD data recovery
Data recovery costs depend on the type of storage media, severity of damage, usage of spare parts, level of complexity and the amount of time the data recovery technician has to spend on the job in order to achieve a successful data recovery. We always inform our customers after the initial diagnosis and give them exact quote for data recovery.
