Data recovery from SSD and NVMe in Warsaw
When an SSD disappears from BIOS, shows RAW or 0 GB, turns read-only or freezes the computer, the next write can matter. We diagnose the controller, firmware, NAND and encryption state before recovery work begins.

SSD/NVMe: Stop overwrites first
If the SSD disappears from BIOS, shows RAW, slows down or asks to be formatted, do not repair it with system tools.
Flash media behaves differently from a classic hard drive. A restart, scan or repair may trigger TRIM, garbage collection, new writes or further NAND degradation. The safer option is to disconnect the device, write down the symptoms and start with laboratory diagnosis.
- Leave Disk Management initialization and format prompts unanswered.
- Do not run CHKDSK or automatic repair.
- Do not install the system or scanning software on this storage device.
- Do not force-copy data from an unstable SSD/NVMe drive.
- Disconnect the device and describe the symptoms before diagnosis.
Critical states of SSD: 0 GB, no detection and controller failure
If SSD/NVMe disappears from BIOS/UEFI, it suspends the computer or shows poor capacityDisconnect the storage device and do not run any more tests. In diagnosis we check the controller, firmware, NAND memory and impact TRIM.
If you want to compare technology, check HDD data recovery section. In case of SSD, key information about the state of memory cells will be given in the diagnostic report.
You can deliver the storage device yourself, send it to diagnosis or describe the symptoms. That's enough to pre-choice the path.
When the recovery of SSD/NVMe makes sense
We are most often visited by media, for which self-action is no longer safe or has only a partial result. This is particularly the case where:
Another storage device? HDD, USB and RAID/NAS have separate procedures.
SSD/NVMe diagnostics and recovery step by step
- Preliminary vehicle assessment — check whether the problem concerns logic, firmware, controller, electronics or NAND.
- Stabilisation and working copy — We reduce risky readings and work on copies.
- Analysis of system software and memory structures – in SSD and NVMe drives is often the key to data recovery, not the file system itself.
- quote and result — After diagnosis, we give the odds, scope, time and cost.
- Reconstruction and verification – we verify the consistency of the file structure and the correct operation of the recovered data.
In difficult cases, diagnosis shows the sense of recovery and a safe method of further work.
Which is particularly important for the SSD and NVMe
On flash media, it is easy to change the state of the data with actions that sometimes do not trigger immediate internal processes. In practice, further attempts should be discontinued if the disc:
What to do: do not run CHKDSK, update firmware or optimize SSD without diagnosis. Do not click "initialise"or "format".
What data and environment we support
What you get after a diagnosis
After initial analysis of the storage device you get the answer, whether recovery is possible, what is the expected range of data, what will be the cost and how long the work can take. If the case is urgent, mark it immediately in the notification — with the SSD/NVMe it is not worth delaying diagnosis especially when the storage device is still detected but is unstable.
Laboratory methods
We're working on a copy, not the original.
In the SSD/NVMe key are controller, firmware, memory map, encryption and NAND bone condition. First, we limit further records.
Data mapping and NAND memory
Analysis of the data mapping layer when the problem is not a simple file-system failure.
TRIM and encryption
Assessment of whether deleted data may have been overwritten or logically cut off by SSD mechanisms.
Working copy
Recovery is performed on an image or a stable controlled readout so the device is not worn down by repeated attempts.
SSD/NVMe: fewer attempts, more control over the data state
With SSD and NVMe, the risk is not only electronics damage, but also TRIM, encryption, firmware and controller activity after access is lost. Do not install recovery tools on the same media and do not run repairs that can change the data layout.

FAQ - Data recovery from SSD and NVMe
Is it still possible to recover data from SSD or NVMe after TRIM?
It depends on the drive model, controller, encryption and what happened after the data was lost. With SSDs, recovery cannot be assumed automatically, so the first step is safe laboratory diagnosis.
Does an SSD visible in BIOS always allow file recovery?
No. Detection in BIOS does not mean stable access to files. The problem may be in firmware, mapping, NAND memory or the logical layer.
Does recovery from SSD look the same as from HDD?
No. SSD and NVMe cases involve TRIM, garbage collection, controller encryption and firmware-specific behavior, so the recovery procedure differs from classic hard drives.
What to do after SSD suddenly disappears from the system?
Stop further boot attempts and do not install anything on this device. Each next attempt can change the state of the data or make diagnosis harder.
What does an SSD shown as 0 GB or the wrong model mean?
It usually points to a controller, firmware, memory-mapping or communication problem. Do not initialize the drive or run system repairs; this symptom requires safe diagnosis.
Is data recovery software safe for SSD/NVMe drives?
Only when it works on a copy, not directly on the original device. Direct scanning can trigger reads, writes, TRIM or garbage collection, so important data should start with diagnosis.
