We don't advertise a success rate — a single percentage tells you nothing about your drive. This is the honest version instead: individual cases, with the real outcome each time. Every device is different, and past results on someone else's drive are never a promise about yours. The only way to know what's possible with your device is a free evaluation.
Olympus Digital Voice Recorder
An Olympus voice recorder with dead electronics but an intact eMMC. We removed and imaged the chip (chip-off), rebuilt the file structure and extracted the recordings, returned on fresh media. Full recovery.
Read the case →Toshiba DT01ACA200
A 2 TB Toshiba DT01ACA200 that came in with important files deleted. We imaged the drive, rebuilt the file system and recovered/repaired the deleted files from the image. Full recovery of the lost data.
Read the case →Intel Optane Memory H10 (NVMe M.2)
An Intel Optane H10 hybrid NVMe module (Optane + QLC NAND). The QLC NAND side was unrecoverable, but we imaged, decrypted and rebuilt the file system from the Optane portion and recovered a large majority of the client's needed files. Partial recovery.
Read the case →Western Digital WD30EZRX (Caviar Green)
A 3 TB WD Caviar Green pulled from a hardware-encrypting WD USB enclosure, with failing sectors. Full image through the bad sectors, then decryption and an NTFS rebuild to restore file access. Full recovery.
Read the case →Seagate ST3000DM003 (Desktop HDD)
A 3 TB Seagate ST3000DM003 with failing heads, firmware corruption, bad sectors and file-system damage. Firmware repair, a full PC-3000 image through the bad sectors, and an NTFS rebuild. Full recovery.
Read the case →Toshiba MK3259GSX
A 320 GB Toshiba MK3259GSX laptop drive with failed heads and extensive firmware damage. Cleanroom head swap, translator rebuild, imaging with the rebuilt translator, then an NTFS rebuild. Recovered the client's critical folders and files.
Read the case →Seagate ST1000LM035 (Mobile HDD, SMR)
A 1 TB Seagate ST1000LM035 SMR laptop drive with failing heads and a firmware reallocation/pending-sector fault. We addressed the firmware defect handling, captured a full image, then rebuilt the file system and extracted the data. Full recovery.
Read the case →Western Digital WD10TMVV-11TK7S2 (My Passport USB, self-encrypting)
Encrypted 1 TB WD My Passport (USB SED) with failing heads, previously sent to another lab — two cleanroom head swaps, firmware repair, and SED key extraction. Full recovery.
Read the case →Seagate ST2000DM001 (Barracuda)
A 2 TB Seagate ST2000DM001 with three faults at once — firmware/system-area damage, file-system corruption, and a failing head 2. Cleanroom head-stack swap, ROM patch for service-area access, imaged and file system rebuilt. Full recovery.
Read the case →SanDisk Ultra USB 3.0
Dropped 128 GB SanDisk Ultra, made far worse by another shop's micro-soldering — donor controller and NAND migration, recovered in full.
Read the case →SanDisk Ultra microSDXC (A1, UHS-I)
1 TB monolithic microSD — reached and read the raw NAND via pinout and Rusolut VNR, but the LDPC-encoded data cannot be decoded with current tooling.
Read the case →Synology RAID 5 (4 × Seagate 3 TB)
Synology RAID 5 offline with two of four drives failed — imaged every member, rebuilt the array virtually, full recovery.
Read the case →HPE SmartArray server — RAID 6 + RAID 5
Twelve-drive business server, two arrays on one HP SmartArray controller — a five-drive RAID 5 knocked out by a controller fault, and a seven-drive RAID 6 down three drives. Three cleanroom head swaps, every member imaged, array rebuilt virtually. Full recovery.
