SSD & NVMe Data Recovery
Unlike mechanical drives that may slow down or start clicking as a warning, SSDs and NVMe drives are prone to what’s known as Sudden Death Syndrome—your device runs at full performance one evening, and the next morning it refuses to boot, your files vanishing completely.
At Datacodex, we understand how devastating this experience can be. Whether you’ve lost access to graduation projects, company databases, or engineering designs—a disappearing drive doesn’t mean evaporated data. As the leading lab in Saudi Arabia, we have the most advanced engineering equipment (including PC-3000 Portable) to handle controller failures and firmware corruption in high-speed storage systems, extracting your data with complete safety.
Common SSD and NVMe Failure Symptoms
- Drive not detected in BIOS: The SSD vanishes entirely from system settings.
- “SATAFIRM S11” or wrong model name: Indicates the drive has entered Panic Mode due to firmware corruption.
- 0GB capacity: The controller reports zero storage—a classic sign of firmware table destruction.
- Extremely slow I/O: The drive responds at 1/100th of normal speed due to excessive bad blocks.
- Read-only mode: The drive can be seen but refuses all write operations.
Our Recovery Process
- Advanced firmware diagnosis: Using PC-3000 Portable, we access the drive’s internal service area to diagnose the exact firmware module causing the failure.
- Firmware repair: We patch or rebuild corrupted firmware modules, forcing the controller out of Panic Mode and back into operational state.
- Translator reconstruction: When the internal address mapping table (FTL) is destroyed, we rebuild it from scratch to recover files with correct names and folder structure.
- Chip-off for dead controllers: When the controller chip is completely burned, we desolder the NAND chips and read them directly, then use XOR Descrambling algorithms to reconstruct your data.
- TRIM-safe handling: We ensure no TRIM commands are issued during the recovery process, preserving every recoverable byte.
💡 No Data, No Charge Policy: If we cannot recover your data, you pay nothing.
