Flash drive RECOVERY 2GB 4GB 8GB 16GB 32GB 64GB /Part 2

Don't toss it. We can repair it!

We have the sophisticated tools and hardware and skills to right this wrong!

You already paid for your existing drive, and some are indeed priced costly, so why not reap what you paid for? Let us recover your existing drive back to normal. We have restored various "false drives" including those from PNY, USBest, SanDisk, Super Talent, Sony and many many "no name" brands. However, there are literally hundreds of brands and thousands of possibilities when different sizes etc are included. And with our recovery techniques, we can restore your drive to new-like conditions for you.

A quick history lesson: Costs associated with manufacturing a higher capacity drive, say a new 32GB drive, versus a 2GB drive are not just because it has more memory but because of issues such as additional chips on the drive. Therefore, the costs to manufacture larger capacity drives are currently not in ratio with smaller capacity drives. So what's going on is that some out for a quick profit are making the lower capacity drives appear larger. You can check it under Windows or LINUX or Mac OS, but they will each report the fake size. And you can even write on and read from it with no problem.... until you exceed the real actual physical size of the drive. Normally you'd expect a Disk Full error of some kind, but instead it keeps on writing.... somewhere. But, as an example, you can't write 4G of data on a 2G drive! So the end result is that writing ends up stomping on other files, filesystem allocation tables, etc. You often don't find out until afterwards, perhaps when reading it 2 days after you backed up something that exceeded the real original size of the drive. And you still don't have to get an error, it might just use whatever sectors it pleases as the data. Often then, "fake drives" can be pretty messed up when you exceed the real size.

Here's how this auction works:

1. Stop using your drive immediately.
2. Tell us as much about your drive as you possibly can before placing a bid. This includes: brand, model, claimed capacity, observed capacity, what OS you use it on, how formatted, where you purchased it, etc., please detail all.
3. Do not place your bid until we have discussed your situation. Upon that discussion, place your bid.
4. Ship your drive to us. Please (a) pack your drive nicely and if you want to ensure arrival then also (b) ship your drive insured.
5. We restore your drive back to a state that the manufacturer intended it.
6. Upon completion, another payment of $35 is due. This additional payment must be made payable via another ebay auction (see here). If your drive is a goner (perhaps it failed for some other reason), then it'll just be the $5 already paid on this auction for the recovery attempt.
7. We ship your drive back to you, unless you tell us we can toss it.
