Here are some common problems with Intel S4500 SSDs that may require data recovery

  1. Firmware Corruption – The drive may become unrecognized due to firmware failure, often causing it to enter a locked or read-only state.

  2. Bad Sectors / NAND Wear – Over time, NAND flash memory degrades, leading to read/write errors and potential data loss.

  3. Power Loss Issues – Sudden power failures can corrupt data or damage internal components, making the SSD unresponsive.

  4. Controller Failure – The SSD controller can malfunction, preventing access to stored data.

  5. Logical Corruption – File system corruption, accidental formatting, or TRIM-related data loss can render files inaccessible.

  6. Slow Performance or Freezing – The SSD may experience severe performance drops, freezing during boot or data access.

  7. Detection Issues – The drive may no longer be recognized in the BIOS or appear as an unknown device.

  8. Physical Damage – Although SSDs lack moving parts, electrical damage from surges or overheating can still cause failures.
