    Yeestor’s YS9082HP SSD controller   
    four-channel design supporting 400 MT/s and four CEs   
    supports single-level cell (SLC) caching   
    Flash type is QLC.   
      
   A data-recovery-person having trouble with it (controller chip).   
   Nothing really abnormal about this, data-recovery people have   
   a ton of designs to handle, and new stuff will show up all the time.
