The exact same thing happens hard drives. There's a ton of magic going on.

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).

Yes, but most technical people seem to have a mental model that explains most failures pretty well. Not so for SSDs, apparently.
