A failed SSD is frightening — your files can feel gone forever. Sometimes data can be recovered, but timing and what you do immediately after the failure decide the outcome.
Do NOT do this with an SSD failure
Do not run CHKDSK or repair tools without backup if the data matters — they can overwrite recoverable data.
Do not install recovery software on the same disk you are trying to save.
Do not format or try to 'fix' with Windows tools if the files are irreplaceable.

What
SSD data recovery means reading data from drives with controller faults, firmware issues or logical damage.

SSDs use TRIM, wear levelling and no moving parts — physical damage and overwriting make recovery harder than on HDDs.
How
Stop using the drive immediately. Contact professional data recovery. Do not use free tools if the data is critical.
Cost
Data recovery is quoted after assessment — often from 899 SEK upwards.
Risks
Every minute you use the device can permanently erase data via TRIM.
Alternatives
Backup from iCloud, OneDrive or Time Machine if available.
Expert tips
Always keep backups — SSDs can fail without warning.
