NAND flash drives contain two major components. The NAND chip (that holds the data) and the controller chip shown in the picture below. The controller chip controls how and where the data is stored on 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. This is still a problem because the controller uses special algorithms to write the data to the NAND Chip. This means the RAW data on the NAND chip is scrambled and/or encrypted using XOR algorithms or other complicated algorithms. 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. The process is extremely complicated and time consuming.

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.
