Data Loss from Solid State Disk (SSD) Technology Increases with Wider Adoption

When it comes to Solid State Disk (SSD) Technology, data from the industry reveals that, Businesses and consumers continue to move toward SSD technology. Advanced storage technologies are steadily expanding at the enterprise level. Advanced storage technologies like solid state hybrid disk (SSHD), helium drives and heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) hard drives are on interesting curve. 

 
According to a recent solid state disk (SSD) technology use survey by Kroll Ontrack, 92 %of nearly 2,000 global respondents are using SSD technology, but a growing number reported experiencing a failure. Of those who experienced failure, nearly two-thirds lost data. 

‘’ With hard drives, a bad motor or scratch in the platter can cause failure. Because there are no moving parts in SSDs, general electric failure or wear leveling failure are more common’’ said Jeff Pederson, senior manager for data recovery at Kroll Ontrack.
