Sometimes Recovery Starts Before the Drive Even Talks
Some drives won't give up their data over USB.

Sometimes data recovery means going beyond the USB port. For certain drives, we convert the original USB interface to SATA — which can mean installing a new connector and reverse engineering the drive's PCB just to establish better communication with the drive.
It's a lot of work just to get to the starting line. But sometimes that's what it takes to get the data back. Most shops stop at the USB port. We don't.
