Thanks for this youtube link. In the case of recovering deleted files from SSD's that have the trim command enabled (Forensics Writeblocker was used,) the following drives have a low probability of recoverability: Crucial, Intel, and Samsung (3core controller). Whereas Seagate, Supertalent (parallel ATA to SATA bridge chip,) OCZ, and Patriot; files could be recovered. If the drive is quick-formatted, and if trim is enabled, the data is completely gone on the following drives: Crucial, Intel and Samsung. The trim state impacts the most whether or not the data can be recovered. You can check if trim is enabled with the command: fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify - if your result is 0, it is enabled (default).
