Sandisk Cruzer Contour 16GB - data recovery from memory chips

well here is the problem. this device has several different hardware builds and there is no real way you can tell by the SKU if it contains the same parts. this is typical in retail products as there is no change notifications made pubic. that being said the best bet you would have is to get one with the exact same SKU SDCZ*-16384RB as that will give you the best chance but no guaranty. SanDisk does not provide data sheets or circuit diagrams for retail products so that is not an option for you.
