Maya Chip-level testing and recovery for NAND flash

Stop scrapping the most valuable part of every SSD

Most SSD recovery operations discard NAND flash after a controller failure. But NAND is the most valuable part of the drive, and often completely unaffected. MAYA changes the story by extracting, testing, and securely erasing NAND chips, so they can be reused in certified rebuilds.

With MAYA, you reduce dependency on virgin silicon, lower recovery costs, and turn failed devices into reliable, traceable inventory.

MAYA reshapes your entire SSD supply chain.

By converting failed SSDs into reusable inventory, MAYA creates a new input stream for rebuild programs, secure resale channels, and enterprise-grade refurbished product lines. Because each recovered chip is validated and serialized, it can be fed directly into production or sold into traceable secondary markets.

Instead of sourcing all-new silicon, you reclaim what’s already yours, with less spend, less scrap, and full visibility into flash quality over time.

How MAYA recovers value others miss

Harvest

01

Failed SSDs are dismantled; NAND chips carefully extracted.

Refurbish

02

Chips are re-balled and reworked via SMD machinery.

Test

03

MAYA performs read/write/erase cycles, ECC checks, and bad block detection.

Secure Erase

04

Certified data purge ensures chips are secure for reuse.

Deploy

05

Chips are vacuum-sealed and redeployed in Vivatronic drives or sold as recovered components.

Common Deployment Questions

Can MAYA recover NAND from SSDs with dead controllers?
Yes. MAYA interfaces directly with the NAND layer, bypassing the controller entirely. This allows recovery of chips that are fully functional but trapped in drives marked as failed due to controller damage.
How does MAYA determine if a chip is reusable?
Each NAND chip undergoes a full diagnostic sequence: read/write/erase cycles, ECC margin testing, and bad block analysis. Chips that meet tolerance thresholds are flagged for reuse, with test logs recorded per batch.
What happens to chips that fail validation?
Failed chips are isolated and logged separately. Depending on defect severity, they may be downcycled into non-critical applications or responsibly recycled.
Is secure erasure automatic or manual?
Erasure is fully automated. Once a chip passes electrical tests, MAYA executes a certified purge sequence (NIST 800-88r1 Level 2) and includes this in the audit report.
Can MAYA be used for sourcing decisions?
Yes. Many teams use MAYA’s yield and defect data to benchmark vendors, track lot-level quality trends, and inform supplier negotiations over time.
