Seeking Data Recovery After Silicon Power PC60 Drive Failure
A few months ago, I encountered a frustrating situation with my Silicon Power PC60 SSD. This device, known for its reliability, suddenly failed, resulting in the potential loss of important files. While the drive is recognized by my computer when plugged in, none of the data is accessible.
In an effort to retrieve my files, I approached a local data recovery specialist. After an extensive five-month evaluation, I was informed that the issue was a “chip-level” problem and that he wouldn’t be able to recover the data. This news was disheartening, to say the least.
Now, I’m reaching out to the community for advice. Is it possible to recover data from a drive in this condition, or is it likely irretrievably lost? Additionally, I’ve come across information regarding the TRIM function in SSDs, which has me concerned about the state of my data.
If anyone has insights or similar experiences, I would greatly appreciate your guidance on whether any options remain for recovery. Thank you for your help!
