Kingston SSD & USB Data Recovery

Kingston’s A400 is one of the best-selling budget SSDs ever made, and its NV-series NVMe drives are fitted to huge numbers of home PCs. Kingston changes components within a model line, so two drives with the same name may use different controllers and flash. Identifying the exact hardware is the first step in our recovery.

We recover data from Kingston SSDs, DataTraveler and IronKey USB drives, and Canvas memory cards.

  • A400 drives disappearing from the BIOS or reporting as “SATAFIRM S11”

  • Firmware lock-ups after unexpected power loss
  • DataTraveler USB sticks with snapped connectors or not recognised
  • Memory cards showing “please format” or reading as RAW

Before You Send It

Deleted files on SSDs: most SSDs use TRIM, which tells the drive to erase deleted blocks in the background. Once TRIM has run, deleted files usually cannot be recovered by anyone. If you have just deleted something from an SSD, shut the computer down straight away and contact us – the sooner we image the drive, the better the chance.
