SSD Data Recovery

Solid State Drive Data Recovery
Solid state drive (SSD) technology offers superior performance, uses less power, runs silently and is more resistant to shock than common hard drives. In spite of these robust features, however, SSD failure can still result from user error, mismanagement and software or unexpected hardware malfunctions.DriveSavers has developed long-standing and close relationships with SSD manufacturers, who provide our engineers with comprehensive knowledge of how each device will store and address data throughout their NAND memory. As a result, our engineers have more SSD data recovery expertise and technology than any other service provider in the industry, allowing us to routinely recover data from SSD failure on Flash memory-based drives, such as SSD-based laptops, , iPads, and digital cameras.

DriveSavers data recovery engineers were the first to perform a successful SSD recovery on the iPhone shortly after it was introduced to the market. Today, as smart phones and tablets enter the business world, DriveSavers is well positioned to recover data that has been lost due to solid state drive failure.

Data Recovery Challenges and Capabilities:
By design, current generation SSD processors feature ever-evolving technologies and high-level encryption protocols to protect the security of stored data, and provide up to 100x greater data protection than leading enterprise HDDs. These complex and highly proprietary features can create some data recovery challenges when an unexpected solid state drive failure occurs.

While some data loss scenarios result in unrecoverable data, DriveSavers has taken a leading edge in solid state drive recovery success rates, thanks to our close relationship with controller manufacturers and our continued investment in SSD data recovery research and development.

DriveSavers Protects Your Confidential Data
DriveSavers undergoes SAS 70 Type II audit reports annually and is vetted regularly by our business and government partners. The SAS 70 Type II Audit Report is mandated by many of our data recovery customers and qualifies us to recover data for:

  • Publicly-traded companies who must comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX)
  • Companies with legally-protected customer information, such as financial institutions
  • Businesses that must protect health information (HIPAA)
  • Universities with protected student information (FERPA)
  • Loan originators and credit rating agencies and their providers (FCRA, GLBA)

Every aspect of our facility and network is secure enough to protect personal and confidential data from security breach during the data recovery process. The security protocols we adhere to, and the certifications we have received verify our qualification to perform SSD recovery on devices that hold personal and confidential data.

Engineers Certified To Recover Encrypted Data
DriveSavers engineers are trained and certified by all leading software encryption vendors, including GuardianEdge, Utimaco Safeguard, PGP and Check Point/PointSec. They work with all encryption operating systems, such as Apple FileVault, Microsoft BitLocker and many others.

Engineering also works closely with embedded hardware encryption on HDDs and many SSDs, and can provide a customized solution to recover encrypted data lost due to any type of device failure:

  • Engineers create block-by-block images of the source SSD during the recovery process—your original data is never compromised.
  • In some cases a device level image can be transferred to a target SSD and returned with original encryption still intact.
  • Data can be restored and decrypted at DriveSavers to verify the integrity of data and returned to the customer encrypted or fully decrypted. (Encryption username, password and/or key must be provided to DriveSavers if this method is chosen.)

Lost Critical Data? We Can Save It!
Since 1985, companies around the world have relied on DriveSavers to recover lost data from data storage devices that have crashed, suffered electro-mechanical failure, become physically damaged or are logically corrupted. Clients such as Bank of America, NASA Goddard Space Center, the Department of Defense, Lawrence Livermore Labs and the Smithsonian Institution have all trusted DriveSavers with their critical data.
