I've been eating lunch watching data recovery videos for years, never seen a flash drive manufactured this way. Cool.

[@hddrecoveryservices]

we see a lot of different types that are used like that :) SD cards, microSD cards, monolithic flash drives, cell phone memory chips, even iphone memory. For refurbs - anything goes

[@abrbo9609]

Same case😂

[@paulveitch]

Verbatim used to make floppy disks, used them all the time. They were a strong brand then. Never heard of them doing USB storage

[@TheEfX]

Yeah CDs also. Still have a bunch of them at home

[@TigTex]

This shows how important it is to have a donor device. Good job!

[@hddrecoveryservices]

it does indeed

[@ismailhanif3070]

you and Northridge fix one of my favorite KZbinr

[@gurhanbayr5080]

Erkin my friend nice job again. A few days ago when i watched another video from someone else i dont remember the name he mentioned you and said that you are helping him when he had problems. Nice to see you do all these things and help people by these videos and also the advices you give to other ppl when they ask. have fun

[@theRealkuds8549]

Really enjoying the content...cannot tell you how much I appreciate the details and information you are giving. Keep the videos coming🙏👍✅👏

[@hddrecoveryservices]

Thanks, will do!

[@circuitsable]

your use of solder wick looks so easy and ends up so clean! thanks for the videos :)

[@hddrecoveryservices]

Thank you Stevano

[@OldePhart]

It's interesting that this kind of construction is even close to cost effective. You would have to build a whole new board and controller just to use a defective memory chip. The failure rate of these chips must be really high to have enough stock to supply this kind of effort.

[@hddrecoveryservices]

manufacturer of these refurbs makes deals with manufacturers of that SD card for devices that didn't pass quality control would be my guess. Failure rates are very high so they get a lot of these in bulk

[@pawelw4488]

Either I've seen it before or I'm having a deja vu ;) PS Edit. Knew it :) You posted it 2 years ago. I think I'm just too big fan of yours :)

[@hddrecoveryservices]

Dude I swear I went over the whole list of vids. Before I edited it. You are totally right, I just checked and I see it. I'll be more cautious next time

[@pawelw4488]

@@hddrecoveryservices what matters is that the content on your channel is absolutely amazing. I'm a hobbyist and I'm really grateful for how much I've learnt from you. Big THANK YOU! :)

[@seiyaharumaki]

OMG that PCB! nice frankenstein , good way to reduce the stock of SD Cards😂

[@NapierNimbus]

Great stuff, most interesting

[@hddrecoveryservices]

Glad you think so!

[@suryavanshib]

Awesome ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻 You have good knowledge for every data related devices solution.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@jrussellmoore]

I have a question for those of you who do data recovery for a living, but it is unrelated to this video actually, it is about SSDs. Many are encrypted nowadays (SED or otherwise), but I think that can be overcome to some extent based on what I've seen in some videos; however, does TRIM/UNMAP make things harder / impossible to recover? I understand on HDDs one could still recover "deleted" data because it wasn't actually delete, so having the metadata or scanning through it all one could still piece things together, but what about SSDs?

[@Grevan-Recuperacao-de-Dados]

TRIM enabled = data is Gone

[@iainstingemore4048]

Great job buddy.

[@hddrecoveryservices]

Thanks 👍

[@krzbrew]

So they jast saw off a piece of SD card. Wonderful. I would expect that from some Wish thumb drive but not from a reputable brand.

[@catsmr]

Thanks for sharing what you do!

[@hddrecoveryservices]

Thanks

[@DiskTuna]

You lucky bastard!! FWIW, IF you get some ID in USB Stabilizer, even nonsense like PID 1234 then there's still life in controller and so THEN probably sucky NAND or bad connection to NAND, at least something that prevents controller from speaking with NAND and thus loading firmware.

[@hddrecoveryservices]

Normally, if the NAND is bad the device gets stuck in initialization so you get no ID at all

[@DiskTuna]

@@hddrecoveryservices What I mean is, IF you get some ID like in this case (so clearly stuck in initialization and some sort of generic ID), THEN controller's not dead (you would not get ID at all) and so then there's an issue reaching the NAND. Admittedly I didn't properly define 'bad NAND'.

[@computer4136]

Love you sir

[@arbarb7204]

Excellent 🤙🏼

[@mariussm7797]

I wonder if donor devices need to be new or they can be old used as well?

[@hddrecoveryservices]

They can be used, just need to be functional obviously

[@steveng5503]

Hit! Nice. 👍🏻✌🏻🇬🇧

[@paultomlinson528]

Good work mate, those controllers are dreadful for nand reads

[@hddrecoveryservices]

yeah I was not looking forward doing a NAND extraction recovery on this one :)

[@jrussellmoore]

What the actual f... is that sort of thing commonplace?! Repurposing NANDs from failed/other media for USB devices on branded USBs? Could it be some sort of fraud, or scam (for lack of a better word) that someone tried to pull off, selling it as if it were an official product on purpose?

[@f0x4nn3]

Happens pretty often sadly, especially on those USB sticks you buy cheaply in multi packs.

[@jrussellmoore]

@@f0x4nn3 I am still processing it 😲, I thought if one went to a physical retailer and bought a USB stick from a reputable brand it would be a quality product, or at least without repurposed components inside 😔

[@hddrecoveryservices]

That's why I said that I was kinda disappointed. I see a lot of this happening with no name devices, but verbatim seems like a reliable brand give or take

[@f0x4nn3]

Verbatim SSD's, USB flash and external HDD's are in my experience junk. They seem to cheap out on components (suspect they let make it all by a 3th party), it really feels like one of those brands that lost their glory days and starting to sell cheap crap.

[@_DSch]

+1, had a SSD that failed out of nowhere after like 3 months (SATA interface was not initializing, probably damaged FW) It had a phison controller but sadly I didn't take it apart to look at the build quality :/
