It's a waste of time to try and recover files from a formatted SSD. There are built-in garbage collection routines that run any time the drive is powered up. This renders large scale recovery of any kind impossible after just a few minutes, and that's when using forensic recovery methods. Standard consumer level software doesn't stand a chance.
I've had a lot of success with EASUS Photo Recovery. My wife has a habit of formatting her camera SDCards prematurely; either the file is recoverable or it isn't, I haven't run into any 'recovered by corrupted' issues. just my 2 cents.. Good Luck!
