| Post subject: | SSD - DR after Windows recovery / reinstallation |
Hello, a client use the windows recovery to reset / reinstall the system and he lost all his data. I had quite some of that cases in the past. On a HDD I could use r-Studio or UFS and I would find at least a good portion of the data. Now I have a SSD and I did the same and there was not one file which I could find. Is there a new function in Windows which wipe the drive when reinstalling windows or is that a thing of the SSDs? I heard that some of them use something like a encryption to spread the data evenly across the drive - so a generation of a new key would turn all old data into garbage. Could that be the case? |

This function is called TRIM. All the data is gone, sorry. |

It works very well. Forensic and data recovery people love it! Less files to sift through... encryption could possibly account for this behaviour as well |
