ssd data recovery

I spilled a glass of wine on the key board of my MAC BOOK PRO. The SSD (1TB) hard drive will not boot. I need to find a data recovery service to retrieve about 3,000 photos from the disk. Does anyone have a suggested service provider?

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch,Early 2015), OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)

SSD drives are not nearly so recoverable as drives with Rotating Magnetic media. If liquid got inside the drive, it may not be recoverable.


But the MacBook pro models from 2015 should not allow liquids onto the motherboard. It may not be booting for a much simpler side issue, such as a short in the keyboard.


If it were mine, I would get another drive in an external enclosure and Install Mac OS on it, and see if YOUR files, (not the over 350,000 files that make up Mac OS) are recoverable. (The Mac can Install onto and boot from any appropriate drive, internal or external.

The first thing you need to do is going to try your external drive on different computer to see if the drive can be read by them. If yes, back up the files you store on your external drive to the computer first. If not, you need to take your external drive to fix at once.

Maybe you will ask if you fix the external drive, will the files are gone forever? Yes, they will be gone, but not forever. Actually, after fixing the external drive, the files seem to be deleted, but in fact, the operating only delete the catalog and the space of these files so that there is enough space for you to store new files.At this moment, you still have chance to get your files back.

But if you put any new files into the external drive, the new files will occupy the space of the"deleted files", this is the so-called data overwritten situation.Once this happens, you may lose the chance to get the files back.

Maybe you can try uFlysoft Data Recovery for Mac, it can recover empty trash on Mac only in three steps:

Step 1. Launch the software to scan the device where your files deleted

Step 2: Preview the scan result files and make mark if it is the one you find

Step 3: Recover files
