Hello everyone

Wanted to drop in and see if anyone might be able to provide a solution for this issue. It appears that one SSD (local Disk E:) might have been damaged. It happened after a power outage, it’s something they let us know about ahead of time, but didn’t specify actual times. So the PC shut off in the middle of an editing session, and the reboot took a long time, after a while it said that Local Disk E: repair was at 100%, but anytime I try to select it, it just kinda freezes. Looked online but I’m still not quite sure how to proceed, did read some concerning possibilities that the drive might be gone.

Would really appreciate any insight anyone might be able to provide.

Hello! Since I also deal with SSD/HDD repair, I can only advise you one thing, IF the data is important, then don't do anything homemade with the drive now. Contact a data management specialist, I know it's expensive, but data is valuable. Physically, the SSD may not be damaged, but the data structure is definitely damaged. Windows HDD "repair" does not always help with this, most of the time it only worsens and a similar situation arises. So a data backup should be performed on the drive by a specialist. Of course, there are free and paid programs that you could try, but the chance of complete data loss is very high, so I will not recommend them to you. P.S.: Of course, a data backup specialist can try to help with remote access, but this is a confidential matter!

There is an ancient tool that’s very very good at reviving drives of any medium called spinright. Making a spinrite bootable USB and running it has solved similar issues for me in the past but it has a few downsides. 1. Spinrite costs $80 2. Making the ISO is abit tech savvy 3. It can take a LONG time to run (3-20 days depending on how degraded the drive is) It will likely fix this issue from my experience though. Here’s the creator’s explanation… warning it’s pretty technical https://youtu.be/tm_tlqMYxOg?si=j0BWRbarw40fZyrD
