yes we know that.When SSD idle.
But it doesnt ell us exactly when the controller will get aroune to it.. Will the deleted file still be there tomorrow?
I just ran recuva and it found a massive number of deleted files.
That is no good. For security they might need to be erased right now.
The “cannot recover” rule does not apply if the TRIM command has not been issued.
A common misconception is that discarded blocks of an SSD drive are immediately erased. This is not usually the case. Instead, the way the TRIM command operates is considering the contents of discarded blocks as indeterminate (the "don't care" state) until the moment these blocks are physically erased by a separate background process, the garbage collector. In other words, the TRIM command does not erase the content of discarded blocks by itself. Instead, it adds them to a queue of pending blocks for being cleared by the garbage collector.
that is exactly the point I was making.A common misconception is that discarded blocks of an SSD drive are immediately erased.
Trimming generally does not happen in most common causes of data loss such as file system corruption, partition loss, sudden power failure, faulty OS etc.
It is therefore worth trying Data Recovery using conventional data recovery procedures.
Hi @mark30
Let us investigate the possibility of recovering data from the failed SSD.
1. Please safely remove all other USB connected storage devices except the dock that hosts the failed SSD.
Post a screenshot of Windows Disk Management. Follow the guidelines here How to Post a Screenshot of Disk Management
2. If you had installed the latest version of MiniTools Partition Wizard/ any version above version 9.1, uninstall it. Download and install version 9.1 from Download MiniTool Partition Wizard Free Edition 9.1 for windows - Filepuma.com. Launch it . If it offers a new version say NO.. Post a screenshot how your failed SSD looks like in it - the very first screen when you launch it. We can try partition recovery with it if we so decide.( In later versions of MiniTool Partition Wizard, Partition Recovery is not free.)
So in all you will be posting two screenshots.
