Would you be able to recovery anything from an SSD with TRIM after a factory reset?

If you were to reset an SSD that has TRIM enabled (talking about a windows “reset this pc”, not a secure erase) would anything be recoverable?

My guess is that it would depend on the specific SSD in play. But I think that even if there would be any recoveries, they would be minor. In my experience, conventional data carving from modern SSD's has never yielded any quantitatively significant results, but hey, sometimes a couple of bytes is all you need 🙂
