How we recover A400 data
SSD recovery happens at controller level: we put the drive into a technological mode, repair or bypass the failed firmware and read the flash through its own controller so the data is reassembled correctly.

Common questions
Can you recover data from a failed Kingston A400?
In most cases, yes. Most failed SSDs still hold their data. We work with controller-specific tools; drives with hardware encryption must be recovered through the original controller.
Where do I find my SSD model number?
Look at the label on the SSD itself, or check Device Manager / System Information on a working computer.
How long does a recovery take?
Straightforward cases take a few days; clean-room and RAID work can take longer.
