UNDERSTANDING THE WARNING SIGNS OF A SSD/HARD DRIVE FAILURE & HOW TO RECOVER
DATA?





Promoted Post
November 7, 2022



Solid State Drives (SSDs) and Hard Disk Drives (HDD) are fast gaining popularity
as portable storage devices among consumers. SSDs are faster, lighter, and
consume less power. Unlike a HDD, an SSD uses non-volatile (flash) memory to
store data. In simple words, this means it has no moving or mechanical parts.
But just because an SSD is less likely to fail, this doesn’t mean they are
foolproof or there will not be any SSD failure.




HDDs are commonly used as storage devices because they are easily available,
affordable, and offer a higher storage capacity. As compared to an SSD, HDDs
have a longer lifespan. However, hard disk drive failures are one of the most
common causes of data loss. In fact, 1,40,000 hard drives crash each week in the
US alone, according to Clutch.



SSDs and HDDs both can fail before their expected lifespan due to various
logical errors, physical damage or software malfunction. That’s why you should
always stay one step ahead and be prepared with a backup of your data for
worst-case scenarios.

Many times, SSD or hard drive failures are unpredictable and occur without any
warning. However, there is a possibility that you can tell if your HDD or SSD is
failing by looking at its symptoms and signs. Let’s find out all that and much
more.


WARNING SIGNS OF SSD/HARD DRIVE FAILURE

An SSD or HDD will show some kind of symptom or sign which can indicate that it
is nearing its end. If you are aware of such signs, then you can take
precautionary measures to avoid data loss in future. Here are a few common
symptoms of a dying HDD/SSD:

 1. Bad Block/sector error – Just like bad blocks on SSDs, there are bad sectors
    on HDDs. If bad blocks or sectors are created then the storage device will
    have problems in reading or saving the file. This can result in HDD/SSD
    failure.
 2. OS crash during boot – If your OS crashes during boot then it indicates a
    high possibility of disk problem. Bad blocks or sectors on your SSD/HDD can
    cause your system to crash unexpectedly.
 3. 
    File System Needs Repair error – If your system is repeatedly showing a
    notification or error message asking you to repair the file system, then you
    should immediately see if the issue is with the system or your HDD/SSD.
    Ignoring such error messages can be problematic for you.
 4. Strange sounds like clicking or scratching- If your hard disk drive or SSD
    is making some strange noises like clicking or scratching, then it is
    definitely not a good sign. It means that the disk might be damaged.


HOW TO RECOVER FILES AFTER SSD/HARD DRIVE FAILURE?

Now that you know the common errors and symptoms an SSD or HDD shows, do keep a
look out for them and take timely action. The best way to keep your data safe in
such cases is having a backup. Try to take backups of your data at regular
intervals. But still no matter how cautious we are, accidents do happen and we
cannot always be prepared.

If you have failed to take backup and the data is lost, then you can take the
help of a Professional photo recovery software like Stellar Photo Recovery. You
can recover deleted photos and videos from HDD, SSD and other storage devices.
If the files are corrupt, then you can even repair them using Stellar Photo
Recovery software. This easy-to-use software works on both Windows and Mac
operating systems.



Follow the given steps to recover data after SSD/hard drive failure:

 * Download and launch Stellar Photo Recovery software on your system.



 * Connect the SSD or HDD from which you want to restore photo and video files
   and then select it once it is identified by the software.
 * Click Scan and select one partition if SSD has two or more partitions.
 * Once scanning is complete, it will show the recoverable files.
 * Select the photos and videos which you want to retrieve by selecting
   ‘Recover’.



 * All the retrieved photo and video files will be saved at a safe location
   chosen by you.


SUMMING IT UP…

It is very difficult to retrieve data when a SSD or HDD fails to work due to
various reasons. That’s why it is pertinent to know the warning signs or
symptoms beforehand so that the users can take appropriate action before the
disk gets corrupted.

Even though you were careful, still no one can predict what might happen. In
case of any accidental deletion or SSD/HDD, being corrupted then do not worry
about it. Stellar Photo Recovery software can come to your rescue in such
situations. Storage devices such as HDDs and SSDs develop bad sectors or blocks,
which makes data stored on it inaccessible.
