• Sector cloning with imaging hardware 

Firmware & Controller-Level Recovery

Modern drives use complex firmware modules — a single corruption can render a drive inaccessible.

Our Capabilities:

• ROM and module repair
• Translator regeneration
• Adaptive parameter restoration
• Controller reprogramming
• SSD firmware rebuild
