Recoverfab is almost magical in its abilities. Go to them first! My story: I had a 128GB Lexar CF…read morecard that failed after an important video shoot. Halfway through the transfer using a USB-C card reader, the card disappeared from the computer and wouldn't mount on any computer, using any card reader, and I spent days trying different combinations. So I searched for online CompactFlash recovery options using google and one of the first listed was an American company in Los Angeles that promised they had the technical abilities to extract the data using a lab. But after several weeks (and "diagnostic fees") they were unable to recover any data. I thought that meant it was impossible but I tried Recoverfab, a small German company run by a storage-chip genius. I sent him the card via Fedex and within an extremely short period of time I was shown thumbnails of all the missing files! His prices are standardized and fair and the customer service is FANTASTIC. Best of all, the data is recovered and available to download online. --Sincerely yours, Lukas Hauser, McConnell/Hauser Video Productions

A close friend of mine had a 18-month old Lexar 64 GB 1000X Professional CF card completely fail on…read moreher recently after a wedding. She had filled it with RAW CR2 images on a 5D Mark III, and when I went to import it to my Mac, the computer asked me to "Initialize" (aka format) the card. She was FREAKING out as it was the only copy of these images. We tried every piece of recovery software I could find, and all of them said the card was essentially empty. She tried platinum data services, they said it was empty. She had basically given up, but I refused to believe it was "empty", so I did some googling and found a German company called http://recoverfab.com, who disassembles the card and reads the data from the actual NAND memory chips, and there was enough evidence to trust them so I sent it off on Saturday. Today, they emailed us and we are 100% recovered! If your card shows nothing on the recovery software, it means the card's controller might have died, but the data is still recoverable through this process. It's not cheap ($1000 for 64GB), but compared to other companies with the same service, it is much cheaper.
