I work in a professional environment where we attempted to recover data from a crashed SSD. Nothing can be recovered. Consider the way an SSD Works. They are extremely expensive because each one contains a memory bank like RAM and a processor to handle reading and writing. If an operating system has "TRIM" enabled (or implemented to work like in Windows 7) then it will delete when a user deletes a file. It writes over the blocks with blank space. This ensures that writing speed does not slow down during the use of the device. So anynill delete when a user deletes a file. It writes over the blocks with blank space. This ensures that writing speed does not slow down during the use of the device. If thing deleted on a drive like that is really DELETED and cannot be recovered.
