Solid State Drive Data Recovery

SSDs contain no moving parts whatsoever thereby dramatically reducing the potential for data loss. These small, light and robust devices are rapidly becoming a choice for the consumer and the IT professional alike.

Models on the market include:

Samsung 64 GB 1.8 inch model
SanDisk offer a 64 GB flash drive
Fujitsu Life Book and Apple Mac Air have optional SSD storage

SSDs are much less likely to fail due to bumps, drops, shocks, or changes in temperature. As drop-in replacements for standard hard drives, SDDs offer superior performance and reliability. They are cooler, quieter, and require less power than traditional hard drives.

Samsung’s 64 GB unit can read 64 MB/S, write 45 MB/s, and uses just half a Watt when in operation (one tenth of a Watt when inactive). In comparison, an 80 GB 1.8-inch hard drive reads 15 MB/s, writes 7 MB/s, and consumes 1.5 Watts, irrespective of whether it is in operation or not.
