OCZ Vertex
June 21st, 2015, 9:54
I have a SSD OCZ Vertex that the bios can not see anymore after a normal shutdown of the PC.
I have tried to power cycle the unit with no success for the bios to detect the drrive.
Addition of jumper results in bios detecting as "yatapdong barefoot"
Looking around for any tools that can extract the data from the SSD in this controller mode to allow me to recover some files.
I can't seem to find any methods for recovery of these SSD.
Thanks for any assistance.

It is necessary to open and see what kind of controller.

Hi,
I may be able to help. If you can let me know the controller, I can say more. I am assuming it will be an Indilinx

Yes it's Indilinx. PC3000SSD got this, if the controller is working.

For example: Indilinx Barefoot 3

Yes I believe it is Indilinx
Does not detect via bios(bios just hangs trying to find the device)
When jumper selected it states YATAPDONG BAREFOOT
any solution would be great to access the data

exact model is OCZSSD2-1VTX30G

as stated above, unscrew case and provide photo of both sides PCB. model numbers aren't always best indication of insides.. . you cant realistically damage anything and I assume no warranty exists or is going to be sought after.
I am in AU as well, so be happy to look at it for you.

I am in melb so not so close.
Is the only way to do recovery is via PC3000 ssd software.
From reviewing the tech details it uploads a temp firmware and redirects the boot logic to the new firmware which then makes the nand accessible.
Surely there isn't a need for special card/pc3000 software to do this

I regularly get flash from around AU and International.
It depends on the issue. I don't use PC3000 SSD, I have other flash tools.
The method you describe may work for firmware isssues, but there are other possible causes that this won't work for. Electronic component failure, NAND chip physical defects, Corruption of Data in critical NAND/controller locations.
The advantage of the PC3000 (if indeed the fix is obtainable with it) is the research and discovered solution along with instructions on a fix from ACE Lab. I don't know if it is absolutely required for any special operations that couldn't be had by homebrew/serial connection type setup.
If I was looking at this drives, I would be 1st looking for circuit issues, then if controller is supported, doing NAND chip off recovery.
I would really like to know the numbers printed on the controller.

I have another source I am trying see if they can look at it for me that is local. (with them at the moment)
If he has no luck I drop you a PM.
I work in a tech field so am used to learning curve for new issues etc.
The lack of information out on the net in regards to SSD is interesting.
If you can drop me a PM with what other tools are out there for SSD drives
