SSDs have become far more widespread in recent years, and for good reason. However, data loss events involving SSDs are often far more complex and require advanced training and equipment to deal with. As a result, many data recovery companies tend to struggle to fully resolve some of these cases.
At Secure Data Recovery, we have an extensive library of SSD controllers and state-of-the-art soldering stations for physical damage, as well as cutting-edge software that provides us with low-level access to the device’s firmware. If your external SSD is failing, rest assured that we’ll retrieve your data from it.
We’ve dealt with physical failures, such as locking spindles or broken actuator arms, electronic failures such as faulty fans, logical failures like file corruption, and much more. Over the years, our technicians have indeed seen it all, and are prepared with both the expertise and the tools to recover your data efficiently and effectively.
One of the things that sets us apart is our certified Class 10 ISO 4 cleanroom. A cleanroom is free of debris like dust particles and other contaminates that can further damage delicate parts. With a Class 10 ISO 4 certification, we can ensure that there is a maximum of 10 particles with a diameter of 0.5 micrometers per 0.0283 cubic metres.
Our 96% success rate speaks for itself, whatever the issue that’s plaguing your external hard drive, we’ve got you covered.
When it comes to types of external hard drive failures that may lead to data loss, they all generally fall into one of three types: physical, electronic, or logical. There are a myriad of failures of each type, but we describe a few of the most common of each below.
Bear in mind, however, that whatever the problem on external HDDs or SSDs, we’re confident in our team’s ability to resolve it swiftly.
Hard drives contain internal parts that move at high speeds, and as such, they endure wear and tear as they age and become less reliable as a result. A hard drive’s read/write heads rest just above the surface of the platters that contain your data, and should they come into contact with the platters, data loss may occur. In addition to internal wear-and-tear and scratching, other common physical failures include PCB damage, water or fire Damage, and platter damage.
When an external hard drive has an electronic issue, it can either stop working entirely or report an error message. Electronic failures can be just as fatal for a hard drive as physical failures, and when they occur, are best dealt with by experienced data recovery professionals.
External hard drives can also lose data as a result of non-physical, or logical, errors that affect how the drive operates.

Scott did an amazing job helping me. I was not the easiest customer, but he was always very kind and patient every time I spoke with him. He made sure to provide me with the best options on how I could go about the situation. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

I thought all the data on my recently deceased husband''s phone would be lost because the damage under the glass wouldn''t allow me to enter all of the numbers of his passcode. I took the phone to get the glass replaced, and once replaced, the phone immediately wanted to do a factory reset. I said no! Do not do a factory reset!I called Secure Data Recovery and spoke to Scott McMacken. I explained everything to him and how important it was to recover whatever was on my husband''s phone. I was beside myself that it may not be possible. Scott gave me hope they would be able to recover what was on his phone. I didn''t want to lose years of photos, videos, docs, and whatever else might be important.Once I agreed to the service, Scott sent me an email with a FedEx label, instructions, and kept in contact through the entire process. I was so happy when I got the news they were able to recover everything off my husband''s phone, and even happier when I was looking through all the files after the flash drive was returned to me.5-Star Rating for Scott McMacken and Secure Data Recovery!

External hard drives are, as a result of their nature as a portable device, more prone to data loss due to things like bumps, drops, spills, and extreme temperatures. This means that we often need to carry out mechanical repairs in order to successfully recover your data. Rest assured, we’ve done so countless times with the help of our top-tier cleanroom! Whether you have a damaged device or corrupted files within it, we can get your data back for you.
