At its heart, ChipGenius v4.21 is a USB VID/PID (Vendor ID/Product ID) database decoder with a twist. While standard drivers read these identifiers, ChipGenius goes a step further by interrogating the USB device’s descriptor strings and cross-referencing them against an internal database of known controller chips (e.g., Alcor, Phison, Silicon Motion, Innostor).

Why this matters: When a USB drive is not recognized by the OS or shows 0 bytes capacity, the underlying flash memory may be failing, but the controller might still be alive. ChipGenius v4.21 can often still detect the controller model (e.g., "Alcor Micro AU6998SN") even when all partitions are inaccessible.
