This hasn't happened to me but I was just curious as to what tools/software professionals use in recovering data under these conditions. I know it requires a clean room but thats about all I know.

Anyone have any insight or experience in this?

If there is nothing wrong with the storage space device but the files are inaccessible, then next point of failure can be caused by errors within the file system. All storage devices need a system of organizing and mapping out the stored files. When this file system information is corrupted, the data may still physically reside on the device, yet the ‘pointers’ or ‘map’ to the files requires repair to make the connection from file name to the file data
