How to perform SSD Forensics | Part - I 👌

Recently I went to a Conference on cyber forensics‍ . There I saw people demonstrating various acquisition methods, evidence‍ collection, storage and analysis‍ . One thing is peculiarly noticed that people when say “Evidence acquisition” or “ Data recovery ” from computers they generally mean to acquire it from magnetic storage media, like Hard Disks (HDD). They were going on about disk forensics, slack space and all those related stuff. After listening to their orthodox speech, I raised some queries:

Do the methods of disk forensics, like block level analysis, apply on Solid state drives ,flash drives?

Flash drives totally remove the concept of block or any rotating part, so what now?

Do your delete, erase, wipe and format concept still work in a similar way? etc. etc.

I asked around 10 questions and all I got was blithering. That made me ponder about the different individuals who are dealing forensics and how many do not follow the dernier cri in the industry.

I decided I need to write something on forensics involving flash drives. My focus on this article is about Solid State Drives‍ (SSDs) .
