They\u2019re faster and more efficient, but they also make data recovery tougher. Here\u2019s the truth\u2014it\u2019s harder to recover deleted files from an SSD on a Mac than from an HDD, but it\u2019s not impossible. We\u2019ll lay out practical methods that give you the best shot at Mac SSD data recovery, but first, let\u2019s talk about SSDs (it\u2019s important, trust us).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can_you_recover_data_from_an_ssd_lets_break_it_down\"><\/span>Can You Recover Data from an SSD? Let\u2019s Break It Down<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>\u2753 Quick question<\/strong>. Have you checked the Trash? It might not be as glamorous as data recovery, but sometimes the simplest solution is right under your nose!<\/p>\n<p>The main reason SSD data recovery is more challenging than HDD recovery has to do with how each drive handles deleted files, specifically through a feature called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kingston.com\/en\/blog\/pc-performance\/ssd-garbage-collection-trim-explained\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TRIM<\/a>. On an HDD, when you delete a file, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.handyrecovery.com\/what-is-data-recovery-and-how-does-data-recovery-software-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the data stays on the disk until it\u2019s overwritten by new information<\/a>, so recovery tools can often retrieve it long after deletion. Essentially, HDDs don\u2019t erase the data itself but remove only the \u201cpointer\u201d that tells the system where the file is located, which leaves the actual data blocks intact until they\u2019re needed for new files.<\/p>\n<p>SSDs work differently. When you delete a file on an SSD, TRIM immediately marks those data blocks as \u201cfree,\u201d which prepares them for quick overwriting. This is great for speed and performance but not for recovery. Once TRIM has cleared these blocks and new data overwrites them, the original data<strong> is unrecoverable<\/strong>. No software or tool can bring back overwritten data on an SSD.<\/p>\n<div class=\"frame_bg frame_bg--primary\"><div class=\"frame_bg--title\"><\/div>\ud83d\udccc <strong>Note.<\/strong> If you work with an external SSD connected through a hub to your Mac or MacBook, you might be in luck. If it uses a USB Type-A or Type-C connection, macOS won&#8217;t send the TRIM command to your SSD. And even in some cases with Thunderbolt connections via cheaper hubs, we\u2019ve seen that TRIM wasn\u2019t executed. This means the chances of data recovery in these situations are much higher.<\/div>\n<p>\u23f3 The key takeaway? <strong>Time matters<\/strong>. If you act quickly, recovery from an SSD on a Mac is still possible, especially for recent deletions. The right data recovery tools can help, and if you disable TRIM (temporarily) it can give you a better shot to retrieve your data before it\u2019s gone for good.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"boost_your_recovery_odds_disable_trim_on_mac\"><\/span>Boost Your Recovery Odds (Disable TRIM on Mac)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You can disable TRIM with a command in Terminal. Remember, this step doesn\u2019t guarantee recovery; it only gives you a chance to find and save files before they\u2019re gone. With TRIM off, you\u2019re set to try data recovery software. If you\u2019re quick and lucky, your files might still be there. <strong>Here\u2019s how to turn off TRIM on your Mac:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Press <strong>Command (\u2318) + Spacebar<\/strong> to open <strong>Spotlight<\/strong>. Type <strong>Terminal<\/strong> and hit <strong>Enter<\/strong>.<img fetchpriority=\"high\" class=\"border-gray aligncenter wp-image-8478 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.insanelymac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Spotlight-terminal.jpg\" alt=\"Type \u201cTerminal\u201d and hit Enter\" width=\"1972\" height=\"1366\" \/><\/li>\n<li>In Terminal run the disable command:<br \/>\n<strong>sudo trimforce disable<img class=\"border-gray aligncenter wp-image-8487 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.insanelymac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/trimforce-disable.jpg\" alt=\"Run the disable command in Terminal\" width=\"1566\" height=\"1122\" \/><\/strong><\/li>\n<li>You\u2019ll see a warning about potential effects on SSD performance. Type <strong>Y<\/strong> to confirm and hit <strong>Enter<\/strong> again. This command temporarily stops TRIM, which helps protect any recoverable data.<\/li>\n<li>With TRIM disabled, you\u2019re set to run recovery software and scan for any files that might still be on the SSD.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"frame_bg frame_bg--success\"><div class=\"frame_bg--title\"><\/div>\ud83d\udccc <strong>Note<\/strong>. TRIM keeps your SSD fast and efficient over time, so we recommend to re-enable it once recovery is done. To do that run the \u201c<strong>sudo trimforce enable\u201d<\/strong> command in Terminal.<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how_to_recover_deleted_files_from_ssd_with_data_recovery_software\"><\/span>How to Recover Deleted Files from SSD with Data Recovery Software<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now that TRIM is temporarily disabled, we can try to recover deleted files using data recovery software. Over the years, we\u2019ve tested and reviewed a lot of recovery tools for Mac. Some of the best we\u2019d recommend include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Disk Drill<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.r-studio.com\/data_recovery_macintosh\/Download.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">R-Studio<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cgsecurity.org\/wiki\/photoRec\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PhotoRec<\/a>.

For this guide, we\u2019ll walk you through Disk Drill\u2014it\u2019s <strong>become our go-to recovery tool<\/strong> for Mac, and here\u2019s why:<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8488 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.insanelymac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/napkin-disk-drill-ssd.jpg\" alt=\"Disk Drill's features\" width=\"1772\" height=\"1162\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Disk Drill offers a simple, intuitive design that\u2019s easy to navigate, even if you\u2019re new to data recovery.<\/li>\n<li>Disk Drill combines multiple recovery methods into a single scan. It starts with a <strong>Quick Scan<\/strong> (which finds recently deleted files by scanning the file directory\u2014ideal for recent deletions), then moves to <strong>Deep Scan<\/strong> (which scans the entire drive to find files deleted for longer periods; it can rebuild them piece-by-piece without relying on directory info), and finally uses a <strong>Signature Scan<\/strong> (which identifies files by their unique file signatures, such as .jpg or .docx, to recover them even if the directory and metadata are gone).<\/li>\n<li>Disk Drill lets you preview recoverable files before you restore them.<\/li>\n<li>Supports a wide range of file types, everything from documents to photos and system files.<\/li>\n<li>It works flawlessly with <strong>macOS Sequoia<\/strong>, and unlike many competitors, it receives regular updates to stay compatible with the latest macOS releases. As soon as Sequoia rolled out, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/help\/disk-drill-5-for-macos-with-much-anticipated-stability-improvements.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Disk Drill added a feature<\/a> that allows users to create an emergency bootable installation drive specifically for macOS Sequoia. This kind of timely update shows that Disk Drill is consistently ready for the newest Mac software.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/help\/dmg-iso-backup.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Byte-by-Byte Backup<\/strong><\/a>. In cases where we suspected the SSD was in rough shape, we found this option invaluable. An extensive scan can sometimes put added strain on a failing drive, and Disk Drill\u2019s Byte-by-Byte Backup lets you create a full image of the SSD before the scan. This image allows recovery without directly working on the SSD.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Disk Drill has some great features, but let\u2019s get back to business. <strong>Here\u2019s how to use Disk Drill to recover deleted data from your SSD on a Mac:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Go to the official Disk Drill website, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/download.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">download the Mac version<\/a>, and drag the icon to your <strong>Applications<\/strong> folder.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"border-gray aligncenter wp-image-7573 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.insanelymac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/disk-drill-install.jpg\" alt=\"Follow the instructions\" width=\"1436\" height=\"1156\" \/><\/li>\n<li>Open it from Applications or through <strong>Spotlight<\/strong> (press Command (\u2318) + Spacebar, type \u201cDisk Drill,\u201d and hit Enter).<\/li>\n<li>Disk Drill may prompt you to grant permissions for storage access. Follow the instructions to allow this so Disk Drill can fully scan your SSD.<\/li>\n<li>Choose your SSD from Disk Drill\u2019s list of drives to start the recovery process.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"border-gray aligncenter wp-image-8317 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.insanelymac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/disk-drill-select-c.jpg\" alt=\"Select the drive you want to scan\" width=\"2430\" height=\"1688\" \/><\/li>\n<li>Click on <strong>Search for lost data<\/strong>.

As it scans, you can click on <strong>Review found items<\/strong> at the top to see files that have already been identified.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"border-gray aligncenter wp-image-7728 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.insanelymac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/disk-drill-hfs-preview.jpg\" alt=\"Preview and select the files you want to recover\" width=\"2376\" height=\"1618\" \/><\/li>\n<li>You\u2019ll see a <strong>thumbnail preview<\/strong> on the right for each file, along with an <strong>eye icon<\/strong> near each filename that you can click to preview the file\u2019s contents. This way, you can confirm it\u2019s the file you need before recovery.<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019ll also notice a <strong>Recovery chances<\/strong> column, which rates each file as <strong>High<\/strong>, <strong>Average<\/strong>, or <strong>Low<\/strong>. This column helps you identify files with the best chances of full recovery.<\/li>\n<li>You can wait until the scan completes or, if you\u2019ve already spotted the deleted files you need, click the <strong>Recover<\/strong> button at the bottom to restore them immediately. Just keep in mind that with Disk Drill\u2019s <strong>Basic (free) version<\/strong>, you can only scan and preview files. To actually recover them, you\u2019ll need to upgrade to the <strong>PRO version<\/strong>.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"border-gray aligncenter wp-image-7729 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.insanelymac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/disk-drill-hfs-recover.jpg\" alt=\"Choose a recovery destination\" width=\"2376\" height=\"1618\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>We recommend saving these files to a different drive or external storage to avoid overwriting data on your SSD and re-enable TRIM (if you disabled it earlier) to keep your SSD optimized.<\/p>\n<div class=\"frame_bg frame_bg--primary\"><div class=\"frame_bg--title\"><\/div>\ud83d\udccc <strong>Note<\/strong>. By the way, to avoid the need to look for deleted files later on, Disk Drill has a <strong>Data Protection<\/strong> feature that helps keep your files safe from accidental deletions.

If you delete a file from a location that syncs with iCloud, it will be stored in the <strong>Recently Deleted<\/strong> folder for 30 days, which allows you to recover it easily. <strong>Here\u2019s how to recover deleted files from SSD on Mac\u00a0 with iCloud:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open a web browser, go to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.icloud.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> iCloud.com<\/a>, and sign in with your Apple ID.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"border-gray aligncenter wp-image-8216 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.insanelymac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/icloud.jpg\" alt=\"iCloud web interface\" width=\"2162\" height=\"1448\" \/><\/li>\n<li>Once logged in, click on <strong>iCloud Drive<\/strong> (or <strong>Photos<\/strong> if you need to recover deleted images).<\/li>\n<li>Scroll down and find <strong>Recently Deleted<\/strong> at the bottom of the iCloud Drive window.

These files will reappear in their original locations on iCloud Drive, syncing automatically back to your Mac.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"beyond_diy\"><\/span>Beyond DIY<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As you can see, if you don\u2019t have any kind of backup, your best option is data recovery software. With applications like Disk Drill, you can attempt data recovery without any specific technical knowledge. However, be aware that with SSDs, time is of the essence. If the deletion happened some time ago, you must consider the possibility that the data is gone for good.<\/p>\n<p>If you prefer not to risk it with DIY methods, professional data recovery services offer a solid alternative. These services have specialized tools and equipment that you simply can\u2019t access at home. They can handle complex data loss situations, like physical damage to drives or severe data corruption. However, be prepared for the possibility that even they may not be able to recover much if TRIM has been active on your SSD, as deleted files can be overwritten very quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Many reputable services work on a \u201c<strong>no recovery, no fee<\/strong>\u201d basis, so you won\u2019t pay if they can\u2019t recover your data.<\/p>\n<section itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/FAQPage\"><div class=\"panel-group sc_accordion_faq\" id=\"accordion\" role=\"tablist\" aria-multiselectable=\"true\"><h2 class=\"sc_accordion_faq--title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"faq\"><\/span>FAQ<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"panel panel-default\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\r\n    <div class=\"panel-heading\" role=\"tab\" id=\"heading1\" aria-selected=\"true\">\r\n        <h3 class=\"panel-title\" itemprop=\"name\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how_can_i_tell_if_my_mac_has_an_ssd_or_an_hdd\"><\/span>\r\n            <a role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" href=\"#collapse1\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"collapse1\">\r\n                How can I tell if my Mac has an SSD or an HDD?\r\n                <i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i>\r\n            <\/a>\r\n        <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div id=\"collapse1\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse in\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"heading1\">\r\n        <div class=\"panel-body\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\r\n            <div itemprop=\"text\">\r\n                You can easily check whether your Mac has a solid-state drive (SSD) or a hard disk drive (HDD) with these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>In the upper-left corner of your screen, click the Apple logo.<\/li>\n<li>Choose <strong>About This Mac<\/strong> from the dropdown menu.<\/li>\n<li>In the window that appears, click on the <strong>Storage<\/strong> tab.

Disk Drill is great for both beginners and experienced users. It offers various scanning methods and supports a wide range of file types. It also includes useful features like data protection and byte-by-byte backups, which makes it a solid choice for SSD data recovery.<\/li>\n<li><strong>PhotoRec<\/strong>. This free and open-source tool specializes in recovering lost files, especially photos and documents. It works across multiple platforms and supports many file formats. While it doesn\u2019t have a graphical interface, it\u2019s effective for users comfortable with command-line operations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>TestDisk<\/strong>, Bundled with PhotoRec, TestDisk is used for lost partitions recovery. It\u2019s a powerful tool for more complex data loss situations, like damaged file systems. Although,\u00a0 it requires some technical knowledge.<\/li>\n<li><strong>R-Studio<\/strong>. This software is geared more toward professionals and advanced users. R-Studio offers a wide set of recovery features and supports various file systems. It\u2019s especially useful for complex recovery scenarios, such as data recovery from RAID configurations or damaged drives.<\/li>\n<li><strong>UFS Explorer Standard Recovery<\/strong>.
