SSD Recovery Case Studies
Real examples of successful SSD data recovery projects
Samsung EVO 870 Firmware Corruption Recovery
An architectural firm contacted us when their Samsung 870 EVO SSD failed after a Windows update. The drive contained critical architectural design files with no backup. The SSD was visible in BIOS but unable to initialize.
The Challenge
Our diagnostics identified a firmware issue preventing proper communication between the controller and NAND chips. The customer needed immediate recovery as project deadlines were approaching.
Our Solution
Using PC-3000 Flash and specialized firmware tools, we bypassed the corrupted firmware and directly accessed the NAND memory. Our engineers implemented a custom firmware patch to temporarily restore communication and extract all data.
The Fixfactor team saved our entire project. We were on a tight deadline and losing those files would have cost us thousands. Their professionalism and speed were remarkable – they kept us updated daily and recovered everything perfectly.
Crucial MX500 Controller Failure Recovery
A small accounting firm contacted us when their Crucial MX500 SSD failed without warning. The drive contained their entire accounting database and customer records with transaction history going back five years.
The Challenge
Our examination showed that the controller chip had failed completely. The NAND memory chips were intact, but the controller failure made data access impossible. Tax season was approaching, adding urgency to the job.
Our Solution
Using chip-off techniques, we carefully removed the NAND memory chips and read them directly with specialized equipment. We then reconstructed the data structure and rebuilt the file system to restore the accounting database.
When our drive failed right before tax season, I thought we were finished. Fixfactor not only recovered all our essential data but also helped us implement a proper backup solution. Their technical knowledge is outstanding.
WD Blue PCIe NVMe SSD Electronic Damage Recovery
A professional photographer’s WD Blue SN550 NVMe drive was damaged during a power surge while editing photos. The drive contained irreplaceable client photos with imminent delivery deadlines.
The Challenge
Visual inspection showed burnt components on the PCB. The drive wouldn’t power on, and the photographer needed the photos within 48 hours for a major advertising campaign.
Our Solution
Using microsoldering expertise, we repaired the damaged circuitry, replacing burnt capacitors and a damaged voltage regulator. We then extracted all data using specialized NVMe recovery equipment within the deadline.
Fixfactor literally saved my career. I was facing the prospect of telling clients their wedding photos and ad campaign materials were gone forever. Not only did they recover everything in record time, but they also helped with backup setup.
Kingston A2000 NVMe Data Recovery After Accidental Format
A university researcher accidentally formatted their Kingston A2000 NVMe SSD while setting up a dual-boot system. The drive contained 3 years of irreplaceable research data and thesis materials.
The Challenge
The TRIM command made recovery extremely difficult. The drive had been formatted and partially written with a new OS. Standard recovery software failed to find the researcher’s files due to SSD-specific data management.
Our Solution
We used SSD forensic tools to bypass the file system and directly scan the NAND chips. We created a bit-by-bit image and employed advanced data carving techniques to recover files after TRIM execution.
I was devastated when I realized what I’d done. Three years of research work that couldn’t be replicated. When Fixfactor called to say they’d recovered my data, I cried with relief. They saved my PhD and potentially my career.
Corsair MP600 Recovery After Manufacturing Defect
A video production studio contacted us when their new Corsair MP600 2TB drive suddenly failed. It contained in-progress editing projects for corporate clients, including raw 4K footage.
The Challenge
We identified a manufacturing defect in the controller chip. The drive would intermittently be recognised but disconnect during data transfer attempts. They needed to recover over 1.8TB of video footage.
Our Solution
We used a specialized cooling system to stabilize the controller chip temporarily. In controlled sessions, we created a complete image and rebuilt fragmented files across multiple NAND chips.
We were looking at potentially £50,000 in reshoot costs when our drive failed. Fixfactor recovered everything and provided valuable advice on our storage architecture. They’re now our go-to for all data recovery needs.
What Our Customers Say
Real reviews from customers who trusted us with their irreplaceable data. Verified on Google and Trustpilot.
