AU Monolith Devices with Bad Pages
In the market for USB flash drives, many monolithic devices can be found. Often, these devices contain Alcor Micro (AU) controllers. While most of them function in a standard way, some exhibit unique characteristics. It is possible applied XOR, bit ...
SSD WD Green with SanDisk controller Automatic Solution - How to Get Data Faster
SSD drives use the same NAND memory as USB drives or Memory cards. So VNR could be used for data recovery from that storages too. We have found the solution for a few WD Green SSD disks with SanDisk controllers. The solution for SSD with a capacity ...
VNR File Assembler
NAND controllers write data to memory chips by logical blocks in mixed order. Therefore, recovering files from such mixed dumps would fail as files may begin in one block and continue in another that is located somewhere else, not necessarily after. ...
Silicon Motion(SM) controllers - Data recovery
We can find plenty of NAND controllers on the market and without any doubt one of the most popular is SiliconMotion. These controllers found their use in all kinds of flash devices, starting from USB flash drives, SD cards, monolithic devices, and ...
Phison - Double block rotation and SLC block management
The solution step by step It’s been many years since the first NAND controllers were released on the market. Many technological aspects of flash devices have changed since that time, but one thing is certain, along with the multiplied capacity, the ...
Alcor Micro(AU) controllers - Peculiarities of data recovery
Alcor Micro (AU) controllers are found in all sorts of devices such as microSD cards, USB flash drives, SD cards of any package, and especially monolithic devices. They are very popular in cheap, refurbished, and fake devices as well. Recent models ...
