as above messed up on the reset, but didnt realised it wiped all my drives, have tried numerous ways to recover, but m ssd is showing nothing to recover, evenm 3rd party recover tools, its just like its a brand new hard drver, life wtf.

ideas? as im fresh out

It's sounds like the SSD may have been secure erased, in which case there should be no way of recovering any data from it.

oh hell ive stuff i needed, i can recover off the hdd but not the ssd

Yeah there’s pretty much no way to recover the SSD if it’s been erased. A professional company may be able to recover it but that’s not a guarantee and it won’t be cheap either.

Ultimately it’s a harsh lesson learnt on having backups of important data.

In future remove all disks before formatting.

Lesson learnt. It only happens once where important data is lost.

I lost 1TB of data, never happened since.

There’s threads on here telling you to remove drives before formatting the primary one, over n over n over.

You not getting anything back from an SSD.
