FAQ

What is the cause of missing data on my SSD after it has not been used for an extended period?

Possible reasons for losing data on a solid-state drive (SSD) after prolonged inactivity are:

Data Corruption: If the SSD was not properly shut down or experienced power interruptions, files could become corrupted over time.
Wear Leveling Issues: SSDs use wear leveling to manage data storage across memory cells. In rare cases, issues with the drive's firmware or the degradation of certain memory cells could lead to data loss or inaccessibility.
File System Corruption: If the file system was damaged or the drive was not properly ejected, the operating system may struggle to access some files.
