Losing essential files and precious memories due to a malfunctioning storage device can be a devastating experience. PITS Global Data Recovery Services, a renowned name in the realm of data recovery, specializes in resolving such data loss crises. In this comprehensive blog post, we will delve into an intricate case study where PITS Global not only successfully recovered data from a seemingly irreparable PNY CS900 SSD but also meticulously documented each step of the data recovery process to ensure our client’s peace of mind.
PNY CS900 SSD is Not Detected
Our story begins with a distraught client who had encountered a severe data loss scenario. His PNY SSD, which had been storing irreplaceable photos and critical work documents, had suddenly become unrecognizable by his computer. The SSD had transformed into a digital puzzle, housing vital information seemingly locked away and lost forever.
The client’s desperation had led him to seek assistance from various data recovery services, but their responses remained grim – they claimed the data was irrecoverable. Then, he decided to give it one last shot by contacting PITS Global Data Recovery Services.
PNY CS900 SSD is Not Showing Up
The PNY CS900 solid state drive that came to our laboratory presented a unique and challenging problem. It was not recognized by the client’s computer, making it impossible to access the data through conventional means.
This SSD was a 500GB powerhouse, and the client’s primary concern was recovering personal photos and confidential work documents. Our experts faced a daunting dual challenge: they needed to make the SSD accessible while ensuring the data’s integrity and recoverability.

Our Approach for CS900 SSD Crash
At PITS Global Data Recovery Services, we take pride in our state-of-the-art technology and a highly experienced team.
Each data recovery case is unique, and we approach it with meticulous care and a customized strategy. In the case of the PNY CS900 SSD, we followed a comprehensive and detailed approach to address the challenge step by step.
The initial step in any data recovery case is a thorough assessment. Our technicians meticulously examined the SSD to identify any physical damage, component failures, or logical issues. This assessment serves as the foundation for devising the best course of action.
Physical Examination of CS900 SSD
The SSD was opened in our cleanroom environment to inspect it for any visible physical damage. Surprisingly, the initial visual examination revealed no apparent harm, which was an encouraging sign.
Recovery Process of PNY CS900 SSD
Since the SSD was not recognized by the client’s computer, we initiated logical data recovery attempts. This entailed using specialized software and tools to communicate with the SSD and attempt to retrieve the data. Unfortunately, the initial logical recovery attempts proved futile, leaving us in a perplexing situation.
Firmware Repair
Recognizing that the issue might be rooted in the SSD’s firmware, we proceeded to repair it. Repairing firmware is a delicate process that demands both expertise and precision.
Our skilled technicians meticulously analyzed and repaired the firmware, hoping to breathe life back into the SSD.
When logical and firmware repairs failed to yield results, we decided to examine the NAND chips.
These NAND chips serve as the fundamental storage units within the SSD, responsible for data storage. If there were issues or damage to these chips, it could explain why the SSD remained unrecognized.
NAND Chip Transfer
With the possibility of NAND chip damage in mind, we embarked on a daring endeavor. Carefully, our technicians removed the NAND chips from the malfunctioning SSD and transplanted them into a functioning donor SSD.
This intricate operation required utmost precision and experience, as any mishap could result in further data loss.
Data Extraction from CS900 SSD
With the NAND chips successfully transplanted into a functional SSD, we initiated the data extraction process. This time, our efforts bore fruit, and the client’s critical files and cherished photos began to emerge from the depths of the seemingly unrecoverable SSD.
At PITS, we understand that the recovery process isn’t complete until we’re certain that the data we’ve retrieved is intact and recoverable. Therefore, after the initial data extraction, our experts conducted comprehensive file verification and integrity checks. Each file was scrutinized to ensure it hadn’t suffered any corruption or data loss during the recovery process.
Data Verification for PNY CS900 SSD Drive
Once the client was satisfied with the recovery results and had verified the presence of their critical data, we transferred the files to a secure external storage device of their choice. This ensured that the client had access to their valuable data and could safeguard it properly.
The triumphant recovery of data from an unrecognized PNY SSD by PITS Global Data Recovery Services exemplifies our unwavering commitment to excellence in the field of data recovery.
We understand the immeasurable value of data, be it personal memories or critical business information, and we leave no stone unturned in ensuring its recovery.
Our multi-faceted approach, which includes comprehensive assessment, firmware repair, NAND chip transfer, file verification, and data integrity checks, allowed us to conquer a seemingly insurmountable data loss challenge.
