The customer data is mostly backed up but they are missing a few months worth of info and this is mostly an exercise to see if we can identify the problem and rectify or recover cheaply, which sort of rules out specialist recovery - I doubt that they are willing to spend over £100 to be honest but as a challenge it is worth looking at!?
We will now attempt testing of the components to see if we can identify problems there - thanks particularly to fzabkar for all links posted and digital ferret for your contact suggestion.
This is by no means over yet so any more info and suggestions would be welcomed.
By the way HaQue - I might have one of these to play with for you soon!

I have a couple of SSDs I got today for analysing, a Sandisk Ultra Plus, Marvell based one and a Samsung ARM based.
turning it into a NAND reader is genius, I wonder how hard that is to develop. I can see many nights in IDA ahead..

Are you describing some features of the PC3K-SSD edition (chip off) and some features of the SATA one?
I have yet to see any tool save raw NAND dumps (as you would get if you chip off-ed it) through SATA
