When your USB drive fails
USB flash drives often store the only copy of a thesis, a contract or a decade of family photos. They fail through snapped connectors, controller burnout or worn-out memory cells. Chip-off and direct-read techniques let us reach the memory even when the controller is dead.
Personal recovery for the files you can't replace: family photos, school work, personal records and the projects you've spent years on.
Do this first: stop using the device, don't run repair or recovery software, and don't open it. Then start a free evaluation or chat with us.

Our process
- Free evaluationShip it, drop it off, or request courier pickup. We log the device into chain of custody on arrival.
- Diagnosis & fixed quoteEngineers find the exact fault and send a fixed quote. Nothing proceeds without your approval.
- Chip-off extractionWhen the controller is gone, we remove the NAND and reassemble the data from the raw memory dump.
- Recovery & verificationWe image the media, rebuild the data and send a file list so you can confirm what matters is there.
- Secure returnYour data returns on a new encrypted drive or secure download. Working copies are destroyed after you confirm.
