The picture below shows the flash drive with the plastic carefully scraped away to reveal the electrical track that we use to gain direct access to the data of a failed monolithic flash drive. This design has created many problems for the data recovery industry because of the molded plastic that encases the flash drive electronics and the complicated structure of the device. Monolithic flash drives do contain a data chip area and a controller area (all one chip). Monolithic flash drives are a single chip design molded in solid plastic. Monolithic flash drive technology is the newest flash technology on the market and is becoming more popular all the time. This process (called chip off work) is necessary in many cases where the flash drive is no longer recognized by your computer or is recognizing as the incorrect size. The process is extremely complicated and time consuming. Each controller and NAND chip has to be reverse engineered to discover how we can successfully gain access to the data and provide our customers all their original file structure and working data. This means the RAW data on the NAND chip is scrambled and/or encrypted using XOR algorithms or other complicated algorithms. This is still a problem because the controller uses special algorithms to write the data to the NAND Chip. We have the technology and training to remove the NAND chip or chips (if necessary) to bypass all other electronics that could be broken or failed in order to gain direct access to the RAW data on the NAND chip. The controller chip controls how and where the data is stored on the NAND chip. The NAND chip (that holds the data) and the controller chip shown in the picture below.
