Working on an investigation whereby a drive had a hole drilled through the center of the PCB. The intel 330 series drive. I was hoping someone could confirm that the NAND chips could be unsoldered and swapped into a working drive (along with the controller) and have some likelihood of retrieval? |

If the controller and nands are all ok, and the hole was drilled through pcb and discreets only, then I would say definitely should work if revisions are the same. Soldering is going to be a little tedious, and you would need to take antistatic precautions, but payoff might be worth it. But if you are swapping just NANDS to another cotroller+board (not 100% clear but I think this is what you are saying) then likelihood is it NOT working. Should only be tried if all other options are exhausted |

Can you post a picture of the hole, so we can see what they actually drilled through. |

You should be able to move the NAND chips to an identical SSD. Same PCB payout and Sam Intell 330. I would look on ebay for one if you cannot find one. All they had to do was destroy one of those chips... |

I'd send that one to Luke at Recovery Force: www.recoveryforce.com |

Thats one lucky drill hole, unlucky for evidence/data destroyer. a lesson to people that want to destroy evidence! |
