Extract text from SAS data sets (SSD)
To convert SSD data sets to another format, you need SAS or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Proprietary Data Format" file type, you need software like SAS or a similar tool.
The .SSD file extension is heavily fragmented. Most frequently, it represents a SAS System Data Set used for enterprise analytics. It can also function as an electrical distribution project file for Schneider Electric Rapsody, an XML-based IEC 61850 Substation Specification Description, or a legacy disk image for the 1980s Acorn BBC Micro computer.
Because the extension is shared across fundamentally different industries, users often struggle to identify what software created their file. SAS files require an expensive, proprietary SAS subscription to natively query the data. Rapsody files and Solid Edge simulations are tied to locked desktop software, while Acorn disk images are entirely unreadable by Windows or macOS without third-party emulation.
Converting these files is the best way to access their locked data. For SAS data, convert to CSV or XLSX to analyze the data in Python or Microsoft Excel. For Schneider Electric projects, the file is often just a ZIP container; rename the extension to ZIP to extract the internal XML and assets.

Convert.Guru analyzes your SSD file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted SDD, WDM, LGX, DFN, GPT, MBR, RAM and VHDX files.
If you want to convert SSD file to GPT, MBR, RAM, VHDX, TMP, TEMP, CACHE, LOG, BAK, OLD, NEW or PART, you can use SAS or similar software from the "Data sets and disk images" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DEVICE, CACHE, SOCK, SYMLINK, PID, MOUNT, FIFO, LOG, PIPE, TMP, JUNCTION or TEMP files to SSD, try SAS or another comparable tool in the "Data sets and disk images" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our SSD converter.
