M.2 SSD Data Recovery

Specialist recovery services for failed M.2 and NVMe solid state drives

M.2 Recovery Challenges

M.2 SSDs present unique recovery challenges due to their compact design, advanced controllers, and often proprietary firmware. Standard data recovery methods frequently fail with these drives.

Expert M.2 & NVMe Recovery

Our specialized M.2 recovery services include:

  • Controller failure recovery
  • NAND chip reading (chip-off when needed)
  • Firmware repair and reconstruction
  • Encrypted drive recovery
  • Physically damaged M.2 recovery
  • TRIM and garbage collection reversal

M.2 SSD Recovery Scenarios

We successfully recover data from all types of M.2 drive failures:

Controller Failures

  • Drive not detected
  • Controller chip damage
  • Firmware corruption
  • PCB circuit damage
  • Power surge damage

Physical Damage

  • Bent/broken M.2 connectors
  • Water damage
  • Heat damage
  • Impact damage
  • Component failure

Logical Issues

  • Accidental formatting
  • Partition loss
  • File system corruption
  • Encryption issues
  • RAID failures

M.2 Failure Signs

Common symptoms of M.2 SSD failure include: drive not detected, freezing during access, extremely slow performance, clicking/beeping sounds, or the computer failing to boot.

M.2 Form Factors We Recover

Form Factor Interface Common Uses Recovery Complexity
M.2 2242 SATA/NVMe Ultrabooks, tablets Moderate
M.2 2260 SATA/NVMe Enterprise devices Moderate
M.2 2280 SATA/NVMe Most common (desktops/laptops) Standard
M.2 22110 Mostly NVMe High-end workstations High
BGA SSDs NVMe Soldered storage (some Macs) Very High

NVMe vs SATA M.2

While both use the M.2 form factor, NVMe drives (using PCIe interface) require different recovery approaches than SATA-based M.2 drives. Our technicians are experts in both technologies.
