I'm thinking of getting some data recovery equipment for EMMC chips, is that still a thing?

Looks like it will be at least $60 to break into this field. I still need to get a decent microscope also, like this: https://microsolderingsupply.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/IMG_20171221_195030.jpg

Anyone here have experience with this sort of thing? One thing that is a concern for me is that any investment like this might be outpaced quickly. I don't want to buy the wrong one for older stuff and have it not be useful in the future.

Anyone care to chime in on the longevity of that product/data standard? I'm interested in hearing others' input on it in terms of an investment as well.
