Sandisk Extreme Portable SSD Data Recovery Service in Austin

SanDisk Extreme Pro and Extreme Portable SSDs were sold promising durability and compact design. However, widespread failures have left many users stuck without their data.  At Rossmann Repair Group, we specialize in retrieving data from failing or unresponsive SanDisk Extreme Pro SSDs, using advanced tools and techniques to address the challenges posed by these horribly manufactured products.


SanDisk Extreme Pro SSD Data Recovery Services

Why Are SanDisk Extreme Pro SSDs Failing?

Simply put; they're made like crap. Attingo's photos tell the story. Sandisk has never taken accountability for the horrific manufacturing on these SSDs and should not be trusted until they take accountability. Thank you to Markus Häfele for his exceptional work in detailing the horrific quality of these products so consumers know to avoid them!

Why Are SanDisk Extreme Pro SSDs so popular?

Once vendors realized these drives were ticking time bombs they put them on sale to get rid of them.

Affiliate marketing allows news sites & blogs to make money each time a customer buys something they advertised on their blog. When the prices were lowered, many unethical blogs & news websites started promoting these defective products to make affiliate revenue.

Example: CNET, Cult of Mac,The Inventory. The Inventory published their suggestion months after numerous lawsuits came out against Sandisk for this class of products, and Cult of Mac's Ed Hardy admits he didn't even use the device in his recommendation!!

"I haven’t tested the SanDisk 4TB Extreme Portable SSD, but I have used many SanDisk products over the decades. The company built a reputation for quality products that, in my experience, it deserves."

Oftentimes, the tech press is not only not your friend; they are your enemy, actively profiting by recommending you junk if they'll get a few bucks of affiliate revenue out of it. I am sorry they did this to you; and I am sorry you're paying the price for it.

How Sandisk Extreme Pro drives die:

SanDisk Extreme Pro and related models, such as the SanDisk Extreme Portable and WD My Passport SSDs, have been reported to experience sudden failure, such as:

  • Data Wiping Without Warning: Drives may erase all stored data without rhyme or reason, making the SSD unreadable.
  • File System Corruption: Operating systems fail to recognize the drive, & data management tools like disk utility report unallocated or unformatted partitions
  • Hardware Design Flaws: Engineering issues, such as oversized components and weak soldering, can cause physical disconnections on the board, leading to intermittent or total failures.

Models in the SanDisk Extreme Pro SSD Family

Failures have been found in the following models:

  • SanDisk Extreme Portable (SDSSDE61 Series):
    • SDSSDE61-4T00 (4TB)
    • SDSSDE61-2T00 (2TB)
  • SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable (SDSSDE81 Series):
    • SDSSDE81-4T00 (4TB)
    • SDSSDE81-2T00 (2TB)
    • SDSSDE81-1T00 (1TB)
  • WD My Passport SSD (WDBAGF Series):

If you own one of these SSDs and have experienced data loss, our team can help.

Why Choose Rossmann Repair Group?

  • Highly experienced Circuit Board Repair: The issues facing the Sandisk Extreme Portable SSD are often physical hardware issues. We've specialized in circuit board repair for a decade before we set up our data recovery lab, so our technicians are well equipped to this specific type of data recovery.
  • Industry-Leading Tools: The PC3000 Portable PRO tool is the cream of the crop when it comes to data recovery technology, enabling success where others fail.
  • Expert Knowledge: Our technicians are highly experienced in dealing with the challenges inherent in recovering these SSDs, ensuring the best chance of retrieving your data.
  • Techs who live, eat, breathe data recovery: When 6:59 PM strikes the clock, we're not running to our cars to go home. Chris' nose is buried in a book or a microscope working on some random drive - even if it's one of his own, just to learn more. This isn't a job for us; it's a livelihood! We love what we do & we love learning more. This will make itself clear in every element of the interaction.

Challenges in Recovering Data From SanDisk Extreme Pro SSDs

Recovering data from these drives requires advanced expertise due to several key factors:

  • Firmware Complexity: Faulty firmware can cause the SSD to disconnect randomly or fail to initialize entirely. This requires precise firmware manipulation and updates during recovery.
  • Hardware Weaknesses: Physical design flaws like poorly soldered components and inadequate epoxy reinforcement lead to broken solder joints. These defects require micro-soldering repairs that not all data recovery facilities have.
  • Encrypted File Systems: Many of these drives use hardware encryption. If the drive becomes unresponsive, recovering encrypted data involves decrypting key sectors which can require expensive proprietary tools and expertise.

What Sets Rossmann Repair Group Apart?

At Rossmann Repair Group, we offer unmatched expertise in recovering data from SanDisk Extreme Pro SSDs:

  • Cutting-Edge Tools: Our lab is equipped with the latest recovery tools, including PC-3000 and micro-soldering stations, to address both software and hardware failures.
  • Firmware Recovery: We use specialized equipment to repair or bypass corrupted firmware, restoring access to the drive.
  • Experienced Team: Our technicians are highly skilled in recovering encrypted and unencrypted data from severely damaged drives.
  • Proven Success: We’ve recovered data from many SanDisk SSDs, even in cases where others said recovery was impossible.

Giving a price without seeing the device, assessing its condition is impossible. Everyone feels better having some basic idea of what things may cost, so for a basic idea, see below. Do realize the + means price can go up! Please do note that drives that have been opened before are rarely if ever recoverable by us: mention this prior to sending it in as we rarely work on pre-worked on drives.

My company recently sent a clients MacBook Pro to Rossmann for repair. While the MacBook was not repairable, they were very quick to diagnose the device and recover all the data for us! Quick, clear communication, and on the ball with shipping and taking care of us! Look forward to using them again in the future! Update. 12/3/2020 I have recently sent a MacBook Air that was not booting. In less than a week, I had it sent, and returned working perfectly! As always, great work, thank you very much!

My m1 macbook pro decided to take a drink of a full cup of water which resulted in a fried logic board. The team over at Rossman Repair Group managed to get my computer fully repaired and saved the computer in every way. It's like the computer never died. Fully functional, all data right where i left it. It's like it never happened. I paid the rush delivery fee to get my work computer back online faster and these guys did excellent work. I cannot recomend this company more! Thank you guys! As a fellow small business owner I am in pure astonishment about your quality of work. -Keegan

I teach at a gifted school and am dependent on a sturdy 7-year-old MacBook Pro purchased with a parents association grant. I use it for lecture, lessons, student presentations and all of my grading and internet at school. I had dropped the computer and it would not charge afterward. I called apple and they abandoned me. Their authorized repair people referred me to Louis before they abandoned me too. I showed up late on a Tuesday at his store frantic and worn out because this is my busiest time of the academic year. Frightened I would have to leave the computer there, Louis overheard me explaining I didn’t want the hard drive accidentally wiped and proceeded to start to analyze the problem. Then he gingerly opened up my tired computer and hooked power up from the inside, determined it was fixable and had some jolly guy in the back room hammer out the case for me while I waited. Then he put it all back together better than Humpty Dumpty and sent me on my way. I kept asking to pay him and he kept saying I could leave a tip if I wanted. I left a modest tip and thanked him and his really nice staff a few more times. I have never met anyone like this man. Yes Louis Rossmann is a true genius, unlike the misnomer coveted by apple technicians who are demeaning and often ineffective. Louis is talented, patient, and kind. And he’s a good teacher too. He treated my computer like it was a person and he treated me with dignity for wanting to rescue it. I hope he does well in his business. He seems happy but it bothers me that he says people are not quick to thank him. I wish more people knew the joys of being in the presence of his greatness and leaving so relieved you have your computer back that the rainstorm outside that night doesn’t annoy you. Thank you Louis, and I wish you deep happiness in your life. Keep up the greatness. If you ever need anything let me know.

5 star ratingThese guys saved my life. Nowhere else in NYC would even attempt to repair my water-damaged laptop while trying to preserve the invaluable data on it. Rossman executed flawlessly, and even charged me $250 LESS than the original estimate. I won't even consider taking my computer anywhere else from now on, and you shouldn't either. Ultimate no brainer.

I had an iPhone 8 that was totally dead, wouldn't recognize being plugged into a computer or power outlet. The biggest problem was that it hadn't been backed up in a long time and there 5000+ photos and videos of our kids were potentially lost. I sent it in to RRG and got a call from Kevin (who was the tech who was actually going to be handling my repair). He was great, forthcoming with the plan, and very polite. Bottom line? Got my phone back with all the data still intact (apps, contacts, photos, videos, settings) working 100%, AND got a flash drive with the photos and videos on it. Thanks guys!

5 star ratingFor the sake of objectivity, my rating ONLY reflects the quality of the work as requested, however, be warned that the customer experience is a different story.I brought in an iPhone Pro Max that wouldn't power on. A common problem with a simple enough fix. This phone has sentimental value to me due to it being one of the first produced. It was a test unit used by Tim Cook himself and still carried his personal collection of over 250GB of traumatizingly nasty adult videos.The Apple Repair center REFUSED to even attempt a repair and offered only a replacement after much debating. OUT OF THE QUESTION, for obvious reasons. I'm well aware of the quality of Apple's products and know for a fact that dropping it into an industrial shredder is not enough to cause irreparable damage, as they claimed.Ordinarily, I would never bring an Apple product anywhere but an authorized repair center. I am strongly opposed to allowing untrained personnel to risk their lives fumbling around with the internals of such a device, and aside from that, they're unlikely to even be capable of comprehending the intricacies of the design. Without highly specialized tools and training, these amateurs pose a significant danger to not only themselves, but those around them, and to some extent, society as a whole. But I had to make a rare exception.Rossman repair group came recommended by some of the less scrupulous Apple fans I know, so that's where I went.Upon entry, as any discerning iPhone owner would, I looked around for the tell-tale signs of forced labor, underage workers, and a volatile undercurrent of resentment among the employees. Those are the marks of a shop owner that truly understands Apple's methods. Disappointingly, I found none.When they finally noticed my arrival, the desk worker pointed to my companions and said "we don't serve their kind here!" When I requested clarification, he replied "You can come in, but your droids will have to wait outside." I found this odd and somewhat discriminatory, and still to this day don't know how he was able to tell they were Android users. While I try to be tolerant and open minded, they are indeed lesser forms of life so I complied and sent them outside.I described my predicament and deposited the fragments of my phone on the desk. He took it to the back where his co-workers gathered and seemed to discuss it at length.I was elated when one of the staff informed me that they could fix it. I thanked Saint Eugene, patron Saint of tradesmanship and customer satisfaction for guiding me here.I watched as they initiated some sort of summoning ritual. They placed the remains of the phone in the center of a circle. Around the perimeter, a camera, a microphone, a Tesla Enthusiast newsletter, and one gallon of Amtech flux were placed, while members of the staff chanted incantations that seemed to imply that a certain person's manhood or lack thereof was dependent on their ability to complete the repair.It was then he appeared, as if he had been present the whole time. Lewis Rosmann himself approached my phone. Lifting the bottle of flux, he began pouring it on the fragmented components. Only the whites of his eyes were visible as they rolled back in his head. He began speaking in tongues as the flux continued to pour from the bottle, now running off the edge of the table.The smell of brimstone overwhelmed me as heat seemingly fueled by Hell fire issued forth from the nozzle of his Atten hot air rework station in his other hand. The flux had by then covered the entire shop floor as an impossible amount still poured from the container. The Mark of the Beast(SAMSUNG) appeared on his forehead. As he began cursing the name of Paul Daniels, the solder started to reflow and the pieces of the phone drew back together and became one.The shop turned silent, we were at that point ankle deep in flux. For a single instant, I saw a black cat, seemingly above it all, observing, as if he alone made the rules that dictate causality, the beginning and the end. Then..."Fan Spin!" There was a blinding flash as the phone's backlight suddenly illuminated. The cat was gone, flux was everywhere.As I regained my wits I asked him to repeat himself."Fan spin," Rosman said as he returned the iPhone, "that's all that matters."I examined the phone, and the fan was indeed spinning, very impressive considering that iPhones don't have fans.I confirmed the device was fully functional and that no data was lost, and asked how much I owed."$138 and your first born," he replied, which I gladly agreed to, because if you've ever gotten a quote from Apple you'd know that's quite a bargain!So, despite using unofficial, even unothodox tools and techniques, they were able to help me out, and perhaps they can help you too.

5 star ratingI wasn't able to retrieve files off an external hard drive and the first estimate was $350 to $2500 (they said it had to go back to the manufacturer). Rossman was referred baby a friend and I was able to retrieve all my information. It was pricey (not $2,500!!) but worth it. I was very happy with the service.

5 star ratingAmazing technician, I believe the best in Apple repair in the country even better than Apple with the tools and facility they can get of course, Apple makes many problems for third party repair shops. I have learned a lot from his videos and from Jessa Jones at iPad Rehab in Rochester NY. I look forward in learning more from them all. Aside from being great technicians they are very honest which is a good relief from anyone that want's to get anything repaired. I look forward to visiting NYC one day and stopping by the shop and thank him in person. They have also fixed my laptop where I am writing this response on and gave me tips on my external hard drive which is now also up and working!

I have a 8+ year old MacBook Air, it completely shut off on me and I was devastated since I have a ton of important business files that weren't backed up. I contacted Apple Tech through chat and we troubleshooted with negative results. The Tech set up an appointment with their Apple Store Genius Bar. I went over to the appointment and the individual at the Genius Bar couldn't help me and basically did everything the previous tech over chat had me do. The Genius Bar tech told me there was nothing that could really be done since its considered a "vintage" device. I could try to have it repaired by them but there is a flat rate and there will be a high chance that the data will be lost. I couldn't take that chance and loose the data. One of my friends gave me Rossmann's information. I contacted them and Kevin told me to bring it over. I was there less than 15 minutes, the tech did some minor work and got my MacBook Air to turn on! Also told me there was no charge! I couldn't believe it after coming out of the Apple Store loosing my mind due to the potential data loss! These Guys at Rossmann are truly honest individuals! I am extremely grateful and fully recommend taking any of your devices for service there. THANK YOU AGAIN! Miguel

I had all of our pictures backed up twice, except for 2017 and 2018. As I was uploading originals to the cloud, my drive died. And there went 2 years, four daughters' middle school and high school memories, and my heart was broken. Two separate repair shops looked at our drive....one of which likely also damaged it further....to no avail. Rossman was recommended by our local guy after he said it was not something he could do. Steve came through. It took time, and patience, and I fully expected for him to give up, but he didn't. He finally fixed it, did it at a price that was way too reasonable, and I now have our memories back. I would unequivocally recommend Rossman. They were honest, fair, and hardworking to the end.
