| Post subject: | Recovering from full drive encryption |
This is purely an academic question. An SSD with controller brand X, some NAND-chips brand Y. The drive is fully encrypted by the user (no hardware encryption). Controller X dies because of some reason, but NAND-chips are intact. An exactly the same drive is bought (same X, same Y, same everything) as a donor. Recovery options (four separate, not consequtive): 1. Chip off. 2. Replace Dead X with Donor X. 3. Move NAND-Y to donor drive (same locations). 4. Fill Donor with some data, perform chip off recovery to get the structure. Option 1 is out of the deal due to the full drive encryption, but what about 2-4? Are any of these feasible for an encrypted scenario? |

Isn't the encryption key tied to the controller in some way? |

Let's assume it isn't, just for the sake of an argument. |
