[HELP] SSD failed and unable to boot suddenly

[Godbrother]

Hi guys,

My gf is having a Sandisk SSD issue on her laptop, where the system is unable to boot into windows, even though the SSD is detected in BIOS.

We have tried removing the SSD and connecting it to another laptop with USB, but the SSD does not appear on ‘This PC’. Under Computer Management > Disk management , the SSD is labelled as unknown, ‘not initialized’, with no space shown.

I have tried using various data recovery software (such as EaseUS and Recuva), but the SSD did not show up on all the mentioned programs too.

I am tempted to try using chkdsk to see if it can fix this issue, but I am afraid that it might accidentally delete files on this SSD.

Can anyone recommend any solution to solving this problem? The main thing that we would like to retrieve are just photos.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

ssd dont have hope of recovery if it suddenly dies unlike hdd. Happened to me once on crucial m100.

SSD can be covered. You need some professional people to do the job.
Technically, recovery rate is much higher then hard disk but will be very expensive.

If a TRIM operation happened, the data is unrecoverable for deleted data. So remember to disable TRIM before doing anything.

E.g fsutil behavior set DisableDeleteNotify 1 via admin command prompt.To double check, fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify where 1 is disabled.

After which you can try recovery software, google for them. If still can't, then have to rely on recovery services.

Next time, remember to backup important data to a cloud service or your own backup NAS/storage/archival...
