“Brian and his team performed a miracle and [recovered] 100% of all the pictures on the damaged flash drive.” –Mike

We use the best-in-class “chip-off” tools for USB flash drive data recovery!

This includes Ace Laboratory’s PC-3000 Flash, Rusolut’s VNR, and Flash Extractor.

USB Flash Drive Recovery Rates

For any flash drive that DOESN’T require “chip-off” recovery, the cost is $300. If it’s encrypted with Bitlocker, FileVault, Sandisk Secure, or any other type of encryption, we charge an additional $100 encryption fee.

For any flash drive that REQUIRES “chip-off” recovery, we charge $300 per NAND chip. Around 80% of USB Flash Drives have one NAND chip (the remaining 20% have two).

There are three main failures with USB Flash Drives:

1. Broken or bad USB connector/interface
One of the most common issues with USB Flash Drives is a broken USB port. In this case, our favorite recovery technique is soldering the wires from a USB cable to points on the flash drive’s PCB. We have the experience required even in cases where the USB pads on the PCB are lifted or completely missing. Then the device is fully imaged, scanned, and the data is recovered.

2. Bad fuse or other chip on PCB
We have the knowledge to identify bad components on the device’s PCB and replace or bypass them so we can image the drive.

3. Failed/corrupt controller
We can remove the flash chips and perform chip-off data recovery by reading the chips and reconstructing the controller’s algorithms.
