SSD data recovery – fast, secure & professional in san jose & bay area
any SSD, any failure
Photos, documents, videos, encrypted volumes — if they were stored on a solid-state drive, our San Jose cleanroom lab can bring them back. With 25+ years of expertise, Kotar Data Recovery provides professional SSD recovery trusted by businesses and families across the Bay Area.
why data isn’t truly lost – even on failed SSDs
Solid-state drives can fail silently or suddenly, but your files are often still intact in the NAND memory cells.
Our advanced lab tools bypass controller damage, recover corrupted firmware, and safely extract data — even from SSDs that aren’t recognized or bootable.
devices & failure types we recover
We can recover data from any brand, model, interface, or OS:
All SSD types: SATA, NVMe, PCIe, M.2, U.2, ZIF
Systems: Windows, macOS, Linux
Data loss causes: accidental deletion, reformatting, corruption, malware, OS crashes, firmware bugs, hardware or electrical failure
common ssd problems we solve
Firmware corruption – often from shutdowns or bad updates
Faulty controller chip – prevents access to stored data
PCB damage – no power / no recognition
Bad sectors or unreadable cells – CRC errors, slow reads
Size detection errors – 0GB or wrong volume size
OS boot failure – drive won’t start
Power surge / voltage spike – circuit damage
Liquid or flood damage – requires clean-lab micro-soldering
Broken SATA/ZIF connectors – no interface access
Reformatted or deleted data – recoverable with lab tools
File system corruption – raw or unmounted volumes
BIOS recognition issues – drive not visible at startup
encrypted ssd recovery
We safely recover encrypted SSDs, including BitLocker, FileVault, and vendor-specific solutions. To proceed, we’ll need:
To proceed, we’ll need:
Password or passphrase
Keyfile or recovery key (if software-encrypted)
Hardware token or access PIN (if applicable)
All encrypted recoveries are handled in our secure San Jose lab environment.
signs of a failing ssd
Sudden crashes, freezes, or boot failures
Files that won’t open or appear corrupted
Slower performance or long delays in saving
“Read-only” mode (cannot write new files)
Drive not detected by OS or BIOS
If you notice these issues, stop using the SSD immediately to maximize recovery chances.
what should you do
Back up right away if the SSD is still accessible
Stop using the device at the first sign of errors
Avoid DIY tools — they can corrupt firmware or trigger lockouts
Let trained engineers safely clone and extract your data
