Similar principle to how an APD works but due to the time factor it is only ever used to recover individual small files whose location can be determined from the file allocation table or equivalent. Also only works with intact chips as voltage and IO needed to induce enough of a change to detect.

Hey Brian,

From a mechanical standpoint, we find that SSDs are more reliable in the case of a drop or a fall, or being moved around a lot, which are some of the most common reasons we see traditional HDDs in our data recovery lab. As far as seeing more SSD failures without warning, I think you make a strong case for why keeping a reliable backup is all the more important!
