The WD My Passport SSD is a reliable external storage device known for its high-speed file transfers and data protection. However, like all storage devices, it can encounter data loss or fail to be recognized by the system. In this blog, we’ll share a real-world case of WD My Passport SSD data loss and how PITS Global Data Recovery Services successfully restored the data.
Initial Steps of the Recovery Process
A client contacted us with a pressing issue: their WD My Passport SSD was no longer recognized by their computer. The drive contained important files and documents, and the client feared the worst—that their data was gone for good. Our expert engineers quickly began diagnosing the problem to identify the root cause. There are several reasons a WD My Passport SSD may not show up on a system. Possible causes include a damaged USB port, corrupted file system, firmware issues, or physical damage to the drive. Our engineers used advanced tools in our lab to thoroughly evaluate the unrecognized SSD and find the source of the issue.Diagnosis of WD My Passport SSD Failure
Our first step was to inspect the physical condition of the external hard drive and its components. We looked for signs of wear or physical damage but found none. This allowed us to proceed with the next step in the evaluation process. We then examined the drive through Device Manager and attempted to reinstall the drivers, but the drive still failed to appear on the system. Next, we focused on the file system of the WD My Passport SSD. A file system organizes and stores data on a drive. In this case, we found that the file system was completely corrupted, which explained why the drive was not recognized by the computer.Comprehensive WD My Passport SSD Data Recovery
With the cause identified, our engineers initiated the data recovery process. First, we created a sector-by-sector image of the drive. This process makes a bit-by-bit copy of the entire drive, ensuring that no data, including deleted files and partitions, is lost during recovery. Next, we used proprietary tools to scan the sector-by-sector image for lost data. Our tools can handle data recovery from various file systems such as NTFS, FAT, and HFS+. Once the scan was complete, we successfully recovered the client’s high-priority files and documents. After the recovery, we verified the recovered files for integrity and completeness to ensure all data was intact and usable.Successful Data Restoration and Client Satisfaction
The final step in the process involved transferring the recovered data to a new external hard drive and delivering it to the client. The client was delighted to have their important data restored and appreciated the professionalism and expertise of our engineers. This case demonstrated our ability to handle even the most complex data recovery cases efficiently. We identified the issue, diagnosed the problem, and successfully recovered the data using advanced tools and techniques.Why Choose PITS Global Data Recovery Services?
