Maybe, along with hardware resets and the occasional repower of the drive works when it goes unresponsive.

Ssd: SanDisk 256gb m2 2280
Controller: is marvell 88ss1047 bsw2
Issues: No ID or detected via usb reader.
Recoverability: most likely now unsupported pc 3000 or rom mode firmware update. Still i dont know is it even possible to access rom mode with this piece of s*it.

I assume you mean the 88SS1074 BSW2 controller, which is supported by PC3000. Assuming that the key firmware modules are not completely destroyed on the NAND, and the lab working on it has an updated version of PC3000, it should be doable.

I can't speak to what other labs charge, but we charge $975 CAD for non responsive SDD data recoveries here at Recovery Force.

Yea 88ss1074 bsw! I checked the board with multimeter. Mostly every component was between 3,1-3.3 V. Some components tho had 0,7-1.3V. I cant really find good info about these components, or what values should them have? Maybe voltage error makes the drive inaccesible by dead components. Ive posted picture. Im total noob in electronics, maybe someone with expertise could tell me.

Controller: 88SS1074
Symptoms: Client and technician couldn't access the drive
Solution: Failing NAND, able to clone with DDI with lots of bad blocks, but most are readable with multiple long timeout passes.

I'm having several Kingston with the 88SS1074. Full ID in universal utility and DE but all ABR errors in read.
I have the latest version of PC3K SSD and support (16-5-2023).
Roman said to try with cold or hot temp.

I've certainly had some success with SSDs that seem to be firmware related, yet unresponsive with LDRs in PC3K and are fully recovered with a little heat.

Indeed Luke I will try with the temperature range suggested by Roman and that I also saw in a scientific article on NAND

Can you show me a detailed photo of the chips near the m.2 connector? There are 4 inductors which will be the landmarks for 4 power supplies. There is also a 6-pin MOSFET which switches power to the whole drive.

Luke, for cloning, did you only use DDI 4 or some add-on for SSDs?

Probably the PCIe add-on.
