Data recovery from SSD drives

SSD drives (Solid State Drives) have pros and cons.

Their obvious advantage is the data access speed which can not be compared with any other data storage device.

Many people believe, that because SSDs do not have any mechanical parts, this makes them more reliable. Actually, this is not completely true. Sure, having no sensitive mechanical parts inside the drive makes it less sensitive in various damages (i.e. the heads can not be mechanically damaged if the drive is dropped), but at the same time these drives are more sensitive to power surges and high electrical and magnetic fields.

A great disadvantage of SSDs is that the have a limited number of access cycles due to the electronic circuits, thus, resulting in higher possibilities of losing data than than of a conventional drive.

Their other disadvantage is every manufacturer (Intel, Sandisk, Toshiba, OCZ etc) uses their own NAND technology and own algorithm in order to achieve the best possible result with their end product. This results in every drive being unique and data recovery becoming very complicated.

Northwind's experienced technicians have developed a system through which data recovery of Solid State Drives is possible.

Hard Drive Data Recovery 

In Northwind Data Recovery we recover data from hard drives that are damaged (mechanical, logical, electronic damage etc), from RAID arrays that have crashed (RAID 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 10, 50, xRAID, JBOD etc) and from problematic flash drives (USB sticks, memory cards etc).

Data Recovery

Data recovery is a science that requires deep knowledge of hard drive technology, extensive experience and expensive equipment.

Many times we have received hard drives that are non-recoverable, even by our company, because their owner or a 'friend that knows about PCs' or another 'data recovery' company, has tried to recover data with tragic consequences. 

So, if your hard drive is damaged (you can hear representative sounds of damaged hard drives here), your company's server crashed or your usb stick that held important documents stopped working and your data is critical, you should trust our company for the data recovery.   

No data, no pay

We don't like to get paid for a job that we haven't done. In case the data recovery is not possible, then , there will be absolutely no charge. You don't pay anything, not even our work for your drive's evaluation (read details here). Your drive's pickup by our company is also FREE! If you are located in Greece but outside Thessaloniki and you want to entrust our company for your data recovery, then you can fill in the pickup form, and one of our partners will come by your home or office and pickup the drive with absolutely no charge! This is valid for all of Greece (read more here). In case the data recovery is successfull, we return your drive and recovered data also completely FREE!

Data Recovery From RAID0, RAID1, RAID5, RAID5E, RAID 6, RAID10.

RAID arrays are complex data storage systems that were initially used by companies' and organizations' servers (due to their cost and complexity), but are also lately used by home users, especially Raid 0 and USB Box or NAS systems, since some of these solutions became affordable offering at the same time high speed data access.

RAID systems in all their forms, even if they are very reliable, can have problems that deprive you of accessing your data and many times, with their automatic mechanisms, might erase your data in order to restore themselves in operational modes (i.e. automatic rebuild in Raid 5 while one of the drives turned 'orange').

Northwind's team is highly trained so that they can solve any problem, regardless of the RAID type (RAID0, RAID1, RAID5, RAID5E, RAID 6, RAID10 etc), as quickly and as reliably as possibly.
