SSD Solid State Data Recovery & SSD Drive Failure Recovery Experts

Expert Data Recovery from Failed, Dead, or Corrupted Solid-State Drives – All Brands, All Form Factors

  • Has your SSD suddenly stopped working, disappeared from your system, or become undetectable? Are you dealing with extremely slow performance, corrupted files, or an unexpected SSD failure? You've found Australia's leading SSD data recovery specialists! Nerdcore PC Systems provides expert data recovery services for solid-state drives from all brands, including Samsung, Crucial, Kingston, Western Digital, SanDisk, Intel, Corsair, and more. Whether you need to recover data from a malfunctioning NVMe drive, a dead M.2 SSD, an undetected SATA SSD, or a corrupted external SSD, our certified engineers use advanced chip-level recovery techniques and specialized equipment to retrieve your valuable data.

  • Solid-state drives pose unique recovery challenges compared to traditional hard drives. Unlike mechanical HDDs with spinning platters and moving heads that often show warning signs (such as clicking sounds or gradual slowdowns), SSDs can fail suddenly and catastrophically. The TRIM command quickly erases deleted files, wear leveling unpredictably distributes data across NAND flash chips, proprietary controllers encrypt data internally with manufacturer-specific algorithms, and sudden controller or firmware failures can make the entire drive instantly inaccessible. When an SSD fails, immediate professional intervention is essential—unlike HDDs where data remains on platters, SSD data can become permanently unrecoverable within hours.

  • Our specialized SSD recovery lab is equipped with advanced tools for chip-level data extraction, controller bypass techniques, firmware repair capabilities, and NAND flash reading equipment. We maintain a comprehensive database of controller architectures, firmware structures, and encryption algorithms for all major SSD manufacturers. From simple logical failures (like accidental deletion or formatting) to catastrophic physical damage (such as controller chip failure, NAND flash degradation, or power surge damage), we have successfully recovered data from thousands of failed solid-state drives. Don’t trust your critical data to generic recovery services lacking SSD-specific expertise—Nerdcore PC Systems proven specialization and advanced capabilities deliver results when others cannot.

Common SSD Failure Signs – Key Alerts

  • SSD Detection Problems

  • BIOS misses the drive: SSD vanishes at startup screen. Points to controller trouble.

  • Gone from OS: Shows in BIOS, but not in Disk Management or Explorer.

  • Flickers in and out: Drive pops up then hides. Needs restarts to see it.

  • Wrong size shown: Displays 0MB, 8MB, or odd capacity, not real one.

  • Marked uninitialized: OS spots it but can't read file system.

  • RAW status hits: Old NTFS or exFAT drive now looks raw.

  • No drive letter: Visible in tools, but won't assign a letter.

  • Format demand: OS asks to format it, file system wrecked.

  • Speed Drops and Crashes

  • Turns super slow: Fast SSD now lags on files or apps. NAND or controller fault.

  • Boot hangs up: Freezes at logo on SSD boot.

  • BSOD strikes: Crashes with DRIVER_IRQL or NTFS errors.

  • Apps freeze: Hangs on save or SSD access.

  • File tasks fail: Copy or delete times out.

  • Boot drags: From 10 seconds to 5 minutes.

  • Speeds tank: Drops to 100MB/s like old HDD.

  • Whole PC locks: Freezes minutes on SSD use.

  • File Access and Damage Issues

  • Files won't open: Docs or folders say not found.

  • Corrupt warnings: File damaged, CRC fails, checksum bad.

  • Files vanish: Gone without delete.

  • Folders messed up: Structure broken, looks empty.

  • Read errors: I/O fails on source disk.

  • Apps refuse start: Missing DLLs on SSD installs.

  • No boot: OS not found or no device.

  • Partitions lost: All gone, drive unallocated.

  • SMART and Firmware Warnings

  • Health at bad: Tools show low percent.

  • Error pileup: Unfixable read/write counts rise.

  • Wear uneven: NAND blocks worn out fast.

  • Hours exceed: Hits TBW limit.

  • Bad blocks grow: More flash marked dead.

  • Life near end: Over 95% used.

  • Firmware stuck: In update loop or corrupt version.

  • Runs too hot: Stays over 70°C.

  • Sectors remap: Bad ones shift often, worse for SSDs.

  • Physical Damage Clues

  • Totally dead: No power, lights, or detect.

  • Burnt smell: Scorched board or melted parts.

  • Dropped hard: Impact bent M.2 or crushed.

  • Wet damage: Spills cause rust.

  • Surge hit: Fails after outage or spike.

  • Heat shutoff: Over temp killed it.

  • Bad connectors: Bent pins or broken ports.
