The SK Hynix Platinum P41 NVMe SSD is known for its speed, durability, and performance, making it a top choice for creative professionals and tech-savvy users. Despite its reliability, it cannot protect against human error.
In this case, a professional photographer accidentally formatted their drive while preparing for an upcoming exhibition, deleting months of critical work. They turned to PITS Global Data Recovery Services for expert ssd data recovery, and we successfully recovered the lost data.
The Client’s Situation: Critical Files Lost Before Exhibition
A professional photographer was organizing media files on their SK Hynix Platinum P41 SSD to free up space. Believing all vital content had been backed up, they proceeded with formatting. Only later did they realize that the most important folder containing final edited exhibition photos had not been saved.
Panicked and on a tight deadline, the photographer immediately stopped using the SSD to avoid overwriting any data. They attempted recovery using free software tools but were only able to recover fragments of the lost files, most of which were unusable.
First Recovery Attempts and Challenges
The client initially tried several consumer recovery applications. While some of the deleted files were partially found, the results were inconsistent:
- Many files were incomplete or corrupted.
- Folder and file structure was lost.
- Final edited images were missing or unrecoverable.
Realizing that amateur recovery tools were not enough, the client began researching professional solutions.
Turning to Professional SSD Recovery Experts
After learning about our success handling NVMe SSD recoveries, the photographer reached out to PITS Global Data Recovery Services. Our team provided a prepaid shipping label and clear instructions to safely send in the device.
We emphasized the importance of not writing anything new to the SSD, as it could permanently overwrite the deleted data.

Once the SK Hynix SSD arrived at our lab, our engineers performed a complete evaluation. This included:

- Analyzing the format operation to understand how the file system was affected.
- Confirming no additional data had been written to the drive post-formatting
The SSD was in good condition, and based on the evaluation, we determined that full recovery was possible.

Accidentally formatting a drive can happen in seconds. Here are tips to avoid similar situations:
