CELLTRACE: AI-Driven Chip-off SSD Forensic Suite
doubleO Co., Ltd.
- 2027 Honoree in Computer Peripherals & Accessories
Detached NAND packages hold whatever data survives on a failed SSD, but no desktop or portable computer can reach them once the drive controller that addressed those dies is gone. CELLTRACE connects to a desktop or portable workstation over USB-C and extends it with capabilities the host cannot perform on its own: direct cell-level read and write access to a detached NAND die. A socket module snaps onto the base unit over POGO-pin contacts held by neodymium magnets, so moving between BGA-316, BGA-152 and TSOP-48 packages needs no rewiring and no second reader. Behind the socket, a virtual NAND controller regenerates ONFI command timing in firmware, and four acquisition channels run in parallel from one host connection. Images are reassembled, segmented and interpreted in the analysis client, which runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. The CELLTRACE suite is scheduled for commercial release on March 1, 2027.
