Recovery from $50 · Free assessment · Free pickup and return in Ottawa
SSDs fail differently from spinning hard drives. There's no clicking warning, and a drive can go from working to missing in a single restart. Many of those failures are logical or firmware-related, which means the data is often still there and recoverable, but only if the drive is handled properly.
Time matters more with SSDs. Deleted data can be wiped by the drive's own housekeeping, so the sooner you stop using it, the better the odds. We're upfront about what is realistic: some faults are recoverable, and some, like a failed controller on certain drives, are not economical. You'll know before you pay for recovery.
SSD Problems We Recover From
SSD not detected or missing in BIOS
The drive disappears after a restart or update. We test whether it's the connector, the slot or the drive.
NVMe drive not recognized
M.2 NVMe drives in laptops and desktops that no longer show up in Windows.
Drive shows as RAW or asks to format
A corrupted file system where the data is usually intact. Don't format it.
Accidental format or deleted files
Recovery is more likely the sooner you stop writing to the drive, since SSDs clear deleted data on their own.
Laptop won't boot, drive is fine
We remove the SSD and copy your files off directly, even when the laptop itself is dead.
Read-only or extremely slow SSD
A drive that has switched to read-only is warning you. We copy your data off while you still can.

SSD Data Recovery FAQs
How much does SSD data recovery cost in Ottawa?
Recovery starts at $50 for logical faults. Failed controllers or firmware problems are quoted after a free assessment, and you approve the price first.
Can you recover deleted files from an SSD?
Sometimes. Because SSDs clean up deleted data on their own, the chance drops the longer the drive stays in use. Stop using it and message us right away.
My SSD isn't showing up at all. Is it dead?
Not necessarily. It can be the slot, the connector or a firmware fault. We test the drive in a known-good setup before we say anything.
Is SSD recovery harder than hard drive recovery?
It differs. Mechanical faults do not exist, but encryption, wear levelling and controller failures can limit what is recoverable. We'll tell you that before you pay.
