Anyone dealing with SSD technology should know a few things about how these unique devices work. DriveSavers data recovery engineers have prepared the following \u201ccheat sheet\u201d to help you understand the technology behind these advanced data storage machines.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike a traditional electro-mechanical drive, a solid-state drive has no moving parts. Instead, the SSD uses NAND flash memory chips to store data. Additionally, instead of writing data to spinning platters (HDD or hard disk drive), an SSD stores data on an array of those memory chips.<\/p>\n<p>Early SSDs had capacities much smaller than the average HDD and a much higher cost. Today, the typical SSD stores 1-2TB of data, and there are enterprise-level SSDs that can store up to 100TB. In addition, as the storage capacity rises year over year, the cost differences are becoming smaller.<\/p>\n<p>3D-cell layer-stacking technology \u2013 like the V-NAND from Samsung and 3D NAND from Toshiba and SanDisk \u2013 is rising as manufacturers try to squeeze more information into smaller and smaller spaces.<\/p>\n<p>With 3D NAND technologies, the memory cells are stacked vertically in layers to achieve higher densities \u2013 a move that also helps reduce manufacturing costs.<\/p>\n<p>At the enterprise level, manufacturers like PURE Storage and SolidFire\/NetApp are making RAID systems that link multiple large SSDs together to provide even greater storage capacity.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid

A bus is a communication system that transfers data between components inside a computer, or between different computers. Instead of one bus that handles data from multiple sources, PCI Express (PCIe) uses a switch that controls several point-to-point serial connections. These connections lead to the devices where the data is needed. Every device has its own connection, so there is no sharing of bandwidth like what occurs on a normal bus. PCle has other advances over the older standards, including higher throughput, smaller physical size, more detailed error detecting and reporting mechanisms along with greater support for I\/O virtualization.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_column-gap-25 wpex-vc-full-width-row wpex-vc-full-width-row--centered wpex-relative\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6 vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><style>.vcex-heading.vcex_69de64f9ed371{font-size:2em;font-weight:600;line-height:1.2;}@media (max-width:959px){.vcex-heading.vcex_69de64f9ed371{font-size:1.5em;}}@media (max-width:767px){.vcex-heading.vcex_69de64f9ed371{font-size:1.5em;}}@media (max-width:479px){.vcex-heading.vcex_69de64f9ed371{font-size:1.5em;}}<\/style><h3 class=\"vcex-heading vcex-heading-plain vcex-module wpex-heading wpex-text-2xl wpex-h3 vc_custom_1718649473989 vcex_69de64f9ed371\"><span class=\"vcex-heading-inner wpex-inline-block\">SLC, MLC, TLC, and QLC<\/span><\/h3>\n\t<div style=\"color:#222222;\" class=\"wpb_text_column has-custom-color wpex-child-inherit-color wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p>The difference in these terms is somewhat self-explanatory.

They protect the security of stored data and provide up to 100x greater data protection than leading enterprise HDDs.<\/p>\n<p>However, these complex and highly proprietary features can create some data recovery challenges when an unexpected failure occurs. To overcome the hurdle of encryption, DriveSavers data recovery engineers are trained and certified by leading encryption vendors to safely recover file and hardware-level encrypted data from SSDs and other storage devices.<\/p>\n<p>In some instances, SSD data recovery requires advanced microsoldering techniques to transplant critical microchips to a functional PCB (printed circuit board). Microchips must be handled with the greatest care. If components are mishandled, microscopic damage may occur. In addition, excessive heat or force can cause permanent damage to the microchips, rendering the data unrecoverable.<\/p>\n<p>Through diligent, dedicated research and development, DriveSavers engineers have determined the optimal techniques for safe and effective data recovery while minimizing the risk of data loss. These techniques require specialized equipment and a skillful approach.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/fi\/data-recovery-services\/devices-supported\/solid-state-drive-ssd-data-recovery\/\">Learn more about Solid-State Drive Data Recovery.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A solid-state drive (SSD) is one of the most popular, fastest, and energy-efficient solutions for storing and sharing information.
