flash drive data recovery - success is in the details

[@HighMansx]

Love the videos! Question for you: Would it been worth it to backup the chips just in case something were to happen that would damage the nand on installation back on the usb board?

[@hddrecoveryservices]

It's a good question. NAND chips are very resilient. And I am yet to see them degrade to a noticeable degree from a little bit of heat. If you look at 13:45 it shows the bitview of NAND content, pay close attention to how solid and undisturbed the vertical lines are at the end of the block. If the live preview of the data looks that clean and solid - then chips are most likely not problematic and will read clean. Putting another heat cycle on them is not going to make more or less damage. This is a 128GB unit, so reading 4 chips and running ECC+ readout can take a full day of work, and amount of clues pointing to the split controller were overwhelming. :)

@@hddrecoveryservices I see, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks for getting back to me!

Sitting at my desk with a kitty in my lap sleeping away, cold glass of milk some cookies and an alert for a new video from my favorite data recovery human. Today is a good day. :-)

[@alexmartinez2684]

A cold glass of milk, cookies, a cat and a video with a happy ending. What more could you ask of life!

[@cocobongo268]

Erkin, hi there... not the firts one but always here... very nice job done. Please, make videos about PC 3000 and/or chip off recovery on VNR... detailed ones, everybody will enjoy that... for sure. :) My best wishes... you are the man.

[@Digital-Dan]

A true craftsman. I have watched people struggle for 30 minutes or more to do a reballing operation that you did in less than one.

[@sweetpeaz61]

I never get bored watching you work your magic, its fascinating watching someone who truly understands their field getting stuck right in with such confidence. Ty for expanding my understanding of a subject I would never normally have access to.

[@paultomlinson528]

Beautiful work as always, I too work in DR and can't fault your approach...

[@Gamersls]

Very clean and nice work please keep them vids coming 👌🏼❤️

Bro...you should be a neuro-surgeon, you got some steady hands!

[@arickdisilva6575]

Great video. Though I wish you showed more close up shots of your work on the circuit itself.

[@Zone1242]

Excellent work as always!

[@Stinktierchen]

Why didnt you check the connectivity of the controller pads before resoldering it? It was a great oppertunity to do it while it was off.

[@CookNGroove]

Since longtime , i see you . I hoope you are good . It’ s a pleasure 👍 Peace

[@bestbuildpc]

What kind of solder are u using when it gets sticky to the soldering device?

[@varmint243davev7]

spectacular as always

What's is yellow box

[@craigreich8046]

Where can I get that pcb holder Shapus F001? can't find one anyplace.

[@hddrecoveryservices]

Honestly, I think there are better options. Shapus uses metal clamps, they soak in the heat. Kevlar clamps would be better. I just got another holder today. I will showcase it and share my thoughts on it

[@craigreich8046]

@@hddrecoveryservices I'm using the ones made from some kind of blue fiber resin and those really suck up the heat so I need way to much to remove a component I just don't like them much. I wish I had half your intelligence your awesome! (I'm 54)

[@sohailarshad1934]

hi .how r you..plz tell me .....what r you, using software are used for recovered the data from flashe drives

[@medialine1264]

Great video, please keep in explaining PC-3000 flash

[@razvannechifor365]

Really love your work, you should do a beginner course on udemy. I will be the first to pay for it 👌

[@terryladd9515]

Hi Eric it's been approximately 2+ years you have had my flash drive. What's my update please?

[@hddrecoveryservices]

Terry, the ability to work on these chips is still very undeveloped. We have the unit wired up and NAND was dumped out, but it's a SK Hynix brand TLC chip with ID that we can't pick proper ReadRetry specs. One of the flash tool developers is actively working on a solution that is very effective for Hynix, but registers for the NAND with your ID have not been identified yet. We only have 30-40% of the NAND cleaned of errors so far.

[@andersonpc2010]

I must apologize if I'm out of place by saying this but, I have been in the I.T. field for 24 years now and I know from experience that any type of DR is a long,tedious and unfortunately sometimes thankless processes. I actually had to send a 2TB HDD in to a DR company and it took them 3.5 years to get the HDD back to me for the customer. Reason being, the machine that it was in got flooded during a hurricane and the client "tried to dry out out" by opening the drive further damaging it. I contacted the client and he had given up on it, but was nearly in tears when I gave him hiss business data back. He now has an on-site and off-site backup system in place now.

[@andresbudihardja]

can u share software cause that using link in description infect by malware

[@RespawnRestricted]

Good tip for you if you use a lot of Q-tips get the safety Q-tips they have like two and a half times the surface area cleans a lot better I buy them at the Dollar Tree myself

[@JanetDiaz6152]

How about a SSD card with. Ransomware....Can you retive my pictures off of it.?????

[@hddrecoveryservices]

Sorry, we don't work on ransomware

Thank you.

awsome job

Thanks

[@cleofaspintolimalima1627]

Hey there

[@rsuryase]

TIL chip off is time consuming and last resort. Maybe do a video on the software tools you use like that UFS explorer professional recovery. Is the $60 standard license good enough?

[@hddrecoveryservices]

R-studio and UFS are really the best options. I prefer the simplicity of the RS, but UFS is excellent addition

[@republish368]

Great job ;)
