The best way to clone this drive is to perform a bit for bit clone. If there is a physical issue with the SSD, then this will clone everything where it is usually possible to mount the clone which is then located on a good drive. You can attempt to use "dd" from the command line assuming the SSD is not throwing up any errors when trying to read it. You will need a destination drive that is of equal or larger size. If the SSD is throwing errors when attempting to read it, then using GNU ddrescue to perform the bit for bit clone is recommended and can be installed on macOS using HomeBrew. GNU ddrescue has the added advantage of being able to resume a clone if it is interrupted for any reason. You must be extremely careful using the command line as it is very easy to mix up the source & destination and destroying what you are trying to recover. I don't recommend doing this unless you are very familiar with the command line, but this is the only way I know to make a bit for bit clone of a Mac (normally I use a Linux boot disk since macOS has trouble if the failing drive is producing errors).
If you have an APFS file system issue, then it may not be possible to mount it even in read-only mode. Several of our organization's Macs had issues where Filevault was unlocked, but I was unable to mount the volume manually in read-only mode. I didn't take much time to investigate options as I was way too busy to investigate since we had backups of the data. You may need to have a professional data recovery service retrieve data if the APFS volume is damaged.
It may be possible to examine the health of the SSD by using DriveDx and posting the report here using the "Additional Text" icon which looks like a piece of paper. I forget whether the OWC Aura SSD has any useful health information or how detailed the health information is. The health information may not tell us anything.
In my experience failing SSDs don't usually allow you much chance to recover data even using this technique. Without knowing if you have a hardware fault or an APFS file system issue it is extremely risky attempting to recover the data yourself. I just had an SSD fail by going into read-only mode where I could still access the data using an external boot drive, but after another reboot of the system I was unable to mount the SSD from the external boot drive. A physically failing SSD is nothing to mess with or take chances with if you value your data.
Edit: Once you have recovered your data if you find out the SSD has an issue, but is still actually healthy, then you can try to reset the SSD to factory defaults by performing a hardware secure erase if the SSD supports this feature. I don't know if the OWC Aura SSD supports this hardware feature, but if it does it requires using a Linux boot disk and utility to access the hardware feature. I've fixed a lot of SSD issues doing this.
Sorry for the delay. Shortly after reading your response, I took your advice and sent it to Drivesavers. It's been there for about a week. They contacted me to confirm my password and said they would keep trying. I'm afraid you may be correct that it's a goner. I think I just stuffed it with too much data. Still hopeful, though.
Thanks for the update. Unfortunately SSDs are very "delicate" and the data can be easily made inaccessible or destroyed by any type of power issue (internal to the SSD or external) or if the SSD controller ends up having a fit. I've seen so many SSD issues since our organization first started using SSDs and I personally have no faith in SSDs and the faith dwindles with every new advance in SSD technology since the quality and performance of SSD's is getting worse.
Please let us know the final result. I hope Drive Savers is able to recover the data for you, but if not let us know whether they charged you for the attempt (you don't need to provide the actual cost as I am curious how it works when attempting to recover data from an SSD).
All my hopes were dashed when I got a call from Drivesavers and was told the data on the SSD is unrecoverable. The posters here were quite correct, unfortunately. Thanks for informing me of the fragility of these SSDs. Lesson learned: backing up SSDs even more critical than backing up hard drives.
Iv been looking into active killdisk to erase some hard drives so that I can dispose/reuse them which I can then give the certificate it produces to the customer/client on the report it says the method and time and such but also has a entry for verification percentage.
By default all methods default the percentage to 10%.
2 things raised a question:
So far, we have tried creating RAID 5, then swap the disks slots and then created a RAID 6 over them and after spending $30k in professional services, we could not recover data from the 6 HDD. This was sort of a POC in 2015.
So most are home users so it would be pictures of family the odd passport scan
A few are work machines ranging from design work to financial services and I have 2 machine that were part of a dentist office which I imagin having patients records
As an alternative to DBAN see if GitHub - martijnvanbrummelen/nwipe: nwipe secure disk eraser meets your needs.It has an iso to make a bootable medium. And if you look at the display in the box you can see that you get a display showing whether the wipe has succeeded or not. If you want evidence just take a picture of your screen.
Writing zeros to every location takes a long time. Easier, quicker and more secure to use the chisel method on those old hard drives that have no future use and you can just take a picture of before and after as evidence if you need it.
In lieu of that, when physical destruction is preferred, I use either a .45 or a 9mm pistol to take care of it. That way I get a bit of fun out of it. Of course, there are those who will ALWAYS debate the merits of one caliber over the other, but I find that in this instance both are quite effective as long as my aim is decent.
For the record I spent a few hours one day investigating the possibility of data recovery off of a a drive overwritten with zeros. There were alot of theories, but no one has yet been able to prove it is possible. There are rewards if you can.
