  • You probably have no hope of recovery. Take the drive to a local recovery agency to see if there is remote possibility.

  • That doesn't explain anything. What could put an SSD in that state? What could a recovery center do that I haven't tried myself? Why the strange behavior when booting into it?

    “What could put an SSD in that state?” - Age; Maximum number of writes, hardware failure. Data recovery companies have more tools than the ones that are accessible to the common individual. Has others have pointed out, data recovery on a SSD, is extremely difficult even if the device is discoverable by common data recovery tools.

    I cannot say about any individual drive. Mean time to failure also plays a part. You would need to contact Dell Support and ask them.
