Belfast, as the economic centre of Northern Ireland, is home to thousands of professionals, students, and businesses relying on Solid State Drives (SSDs) for everyday computing, professional workloads, and enterprise storage. Unlike traditional hard drives, SSDs are faster, lighter, and more durable, but they also come with unique failure scenarios that require specialised recovery techniques.
At RecData, we have been providing SSD Data Recovery services in Belfast and across the UK for more than 15 years. Our engineers handle every type of SSD, from consumer laptops to enterprise-class NVMe arrays, with advanced tools and ISO-certified clean room facilities.
Common SSD Failures in Belfast
SSDs can fail suddenly, often without the clicking or warning signs typical of HDDs. Our Belfast recovery cases frequently involve:
- Controller failures β sudden loss of drive recognition in BIOS or OS.
- Firmware corruption β drive visible but inaccessible, often stuck in read-only mode.
- Electronic component failure β caused by power surges or faulty adapters.
- NAND flash degradation β leading to data corruption and unreadable sectors.
- Accidental deletion or formatting β especially on external USB SSDs.
- Physical damage β liquid spills, impact, or overheating inside laptops.
SSD Types Recovered by RecData
RecData engineers in Belfast support all major SSD form factors and interfaces, including:
- SATA SSDs (2.5β drives used in laptops and desktops)
- M.2 SATA and NVMe SSDs (common in ultrabooks and workstations)
- PCIe NVMe SSDs (high-performance enterprise storage)
- U.2 and enterprise-grade SSDs (datacentre systems and servers)
- External SSDs (Samsung T5/T7, SanDisk Extreme, Crucial X8, WD My Passport SSD)
Case Studies β SSD Recovery in Belfast
Case Study (notary office β SATA SSD):
