SSD Data Recovery: Intel 320 Series BAD_CTX

Another breakthrough in SSD Data Recovery MjM Data Recovery are now able to access data on Intel 320 series of drives that show the 8 MB BAD_CTX problem. We have found a way of reading the data directly through the SATA port. This problem has been bugging users of the Intel 320 series of SSD drives for around 2 years now. Regaining access to the data has not been possible due to the nature of the problem. Previously the only way to repair this was to perform a secure deletion of the data and perform a firmware update. However, this results in the loss of all data on the SSD which is no use to anyone. Our engineers have now managed to gain access to the data resulting with recovered data. Please note that this does not repair the drive and does not actually change the BAD_CTX state we have found a way of bypassing the problem. www.mjm.co.uk
