have you tried scanning with partition find and mount, or imaging the whole disk (not partitions) with DMDE and scanning with r-studio? if the controller goes haywire, you wont get sense from it in win or *nix |

@SOSdonnees , this is typical Controller (not stable) issue there is NO WAY to read it, and if you squeeze it more with reading it will not mount you have to do it the hard way (if your client is willing to pay) @HaQue , dump it & scan it will not do any good, you will not find anything useful/working |

If this fails it usually means bad pcb/component/circuitry. Not sure with the info given how the controller can be identified yet. It will likely be a SM,PS,AU or one of the other less common, but common on crappy Drives, UT,SK,IT or SanDisk. @SOSdonnees do you have a picture of it? |

Once the monolith is wired and dumped, the dump is the same as any other flash job, so why the huge cost? |
