Solid State Drives (SSDs) offer speed, reliability, and durability over traditional hard disks, but when they fail, data recovery can be significantly more complex due to encryption, controller-level errors, and wear-leveling algorithms.
At RecData Malta, we provide advanced SSD data recovery services for both consumer and enterprise-grade solid state drives. Using specialized tools like PC-3000 SSD and chip-off techniques, we achieve recovery even in cases of severe controller corruption or NAND damage.
For highly complex cases, we collaborate with leading European and international laboratories in Dubai, Canada, Germany, and Luxembourg. For the most critical failures, drives are sent to a UK ISO-certified cleanroom laboratory with engineers highly specialized in SSD microelectronics and NAND chip recovery.
Types of SSDs We Recover
SATA SSDs
Common in laptops and desktops. We recover brands like Samsung 860/870 EVO, Crucial MX500, Kingston A400, WD Blue/Green.
NVMe SSDs (M.2 / PCIe)
High-performance drives often found in gaming PCs, workstations, and servers. Models include Samsung 970 EVO/PRO, WD Black SN850, Crucial P5 Plus, Sabrent Rocket, Seagate FireCuda.
mSATA & mini-PCIe SSDs
Legacy form factor used in ultrabooks and industrial equipment.
Enterprise SSDs
High-endurance SSDs used in data centers and servers. Supported models include Intel DC series, Samsung PM/SM enterprise, Micron 5300/7400 series.
External USB-C / Thunderbolt SSDs
Portable SSDs such as Samsung T5/T7, SanDisk Extreme Portable, WD My Passport SSD, Crucial X8.
Common Causes of SSD Failure
- Controller failure – firmware corruption or controller chip malfunction
- NAND degradation – worn-out memory cells after exceeding write cycles
- Firmware bugs – sudden lockouts after firmware update (e.g., SanDisk, Crucial issues)
- Power surge damage – burnt power management ICs
- Physical damage – broken connectors, liquid ingress, or PCB damage
- Encryption issues – BitLocker or hardware-based encryption blocking access
Recovery Techniques
- Firmware repair & translation layer reconstruction
- Chip-off recovery (NAND extraction and reassembly)
- Direct controller access using PC-3000 SSD / VNR (Visual NAND Reconstructor)
- Decryption of hardware or software encrypted SSDs (when keys are available)
- File system reconstruction (NTFS, APFS, exFAT, ext4, XFS, etc.)

FAQs – SSD Recovery in Malta
Can you recover data from a dead SSD?
Yes. Even if an SSD is not detected, our engineers can attempt recovery through chip-off and controller-level repair.
Do you recover NVMe M.2 drives?
Absolutely. We work with all NVMe models, including Samsung 970/980 series, WD Black, Crucial P5, and more.
What if my SSD has BitLocker encryption?
We can recover BitLocker-encrypted SSDs if you provide the recovery key. Without the key, recovery is limited.
Best SSD recovery lab in Malta?
RecData is recognized as one of the best SSD recovery labs in Malta, trusted by both professionals and individuals.
