~ Kroll Ontrack announces ability to recover data from SSD and flash media following rise in requests ~

October 28, 2008

Kroll Ontrack® has seen a 70 per cent increase in data recovery requests for flash media in just twelve months.

Consequently the leading data recovery specialist has developed the capability to successfully recover data from flash media and solid-state disk (SSD).

With these newly developed Ontrack® Data Recovery tools and techniques, the company’s expert engineers now recover data from the two most common causes of damage to these storage devices: accidental physical damage, and a power interruption to the device causing electronics failure and/or data corruption.

Due to the proprietary nature of controller chip manufacturing and programming, every flash and SSD recovery situation is unique. Kroll Ontrack’s experience with data structures and clean room recoveries, paired with its continual investment in research and development, now make data recoveries from flash and SSD devices possible.

Executive quote

“Flash memory is a key technology enabling new designs for many products in the business and consumer markets. However, the new developments and enhancements to the technology – larger storage capacity, diverse applications and performance – don’t exempt flash and SSD media from data loss. Flash and SSD storage can suffer some of the same causes of data loss as traditional storage, such as hardware failure or human error,” said Robert Winter, chief engineer at Kroll Ontrack UK.

Winter continued: “As products with flash and SSD continue to become more prevalent, the more critical the data they store becomes. They may eventually even replace hard disk drives. Consequently, it is vital that users of this storage technology have options for recovery.”
