Recover Data from Corrupted SSD

Before repairing the SSD, to ensure data security, it's recommended to perform a corrupted SSD data recovery using either of these two methods.

1. Connect the SSD/HDD to a Healthy PC

If you're running into any of these issues, try plugging your SSD or HDD into another SATA port and cable, or into another computer, to access your data: 1. Unresponsive drive: If the SSD or HDD isn't showing up in your system or isn't responding, try connecting it to a different SATA port or using a different cable – this could fix the connectivity problem. 2. Boot failure: If your computer won't start from the SSD or HDD, it might be a SATA connection issue. Test the drive on another port or computer to see if the problem is with the hardware or the initial setup. 3. Slow read/write speeds: If you're seeing much slower performance than when the drive was new, a faulty SATA port or cable could be the culprit. Connecting it elsewhere might boost the speed. 4. Random disconnects: If the drive keeps disconnecting, it could be a loose connection or a bad SATA port. Switching ports or cables might help establish a more stable connection. 5. Clicking or weird noises: Strange noises from the drive might point to a mechanical issue. Though this might not be fixable, connecting it to another computer could let you salvage some data before seeking pro help. 6. Error messages: If you get error messages about the drive, like "Drive not detected" or "Sector errors," trying a different SATA connection could help identify the issue. Always make sure to shut down your systems properly and avoid forcing connections when switching – this'll prevent further damage.

• The current PC is unable to read or recognize the SSD/HDD.
• The present PC is not able to boot correctly.

If you encounter either of the first two situations, a new SATA port and cable or a new PC might enable you to access the data on your SSD/HDD.

2. Use Hard Drive Data Recovery Software for Corrupted SSD Recovery

If Method 1 fails to access your data in SSD or HDD, or if the SSD/HDD becomes corrupted with a RAW error, you will need professional hard drive data recovery software.

Here, you can try using the Data Recovery Wizard tool, which allows you to recover all lost data on HDD/SSD, external hard drives, USB drives, or SD cards. It is compatible with all Windows systems, including Windows 10, 8, and 7. The process involves three simple steps: Run the Software > Select and Scan the disk > Preview and Restore data.
