The PC-3000 SSD contains a set of specialized utilities for working with solid-state drives. This set includes the Universal Utility for diagnosing any SSD based on the ATA-8 specification (both currently existing models and those that will be manufactured in future) and the Active Utilities (Special Utilities) intended for working with a particular drive model in factory mode. It enables to deeply diagnose SSDs, to perform service operations, to re-write the drive's microcode, to get direct access to memory chips, to carry out low-level formatting blocking the damaged cells and placing their addresses into the defect table, and to perform many other useful operations.
The list of Active Utilities of the PC-3000 SSD System is expanded as soon as new SSD models are studied, and it is a continuous process. Those utilities that are currently available allow you to successfully recover data from all contemporary solid-state drives and to resolve the majority of wide-spread SSD problems. Special adapters and connectors for the PC-3000 Portable / Express / UDMA have been added in order to use technological interfaces to diagnose and repair drives.

M.2 PCIe NVMe/AHCI SSD & M.2 SATA SSD adapter
The special universal M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD / M.2 SATA SSD adapter included in the PC-3000 Portable III delivery kit, makes the PC-3000 Portable III the world’s first and only solution to deal with damaged NVMe SSDs! The adapter is designed to connect the SSD drives based on the M.2 Key B or Key (B + M) interfaces to the PC-3000 ports. The transmission interface: SATA, PCIe NVMe / AHCI. The adapter is equipped with a 3.3 V power supply indicator and a drive activity indicator. Supported single and double-sided modules of classes D1 to D5 with sizes: Type 2230, Type 2242, Type 2260, Type 2280. |
PCIe NVMe/AHCI Adapter for Apple Macbook SSD
The PCIe NVMe/AHCI Adapter for Apple Macbook SSD is developed to deal with logically damaged Apple Macbook SSDs (from 2013 onwards). The adapter works in pair with the PC-3000 Portable III Systems. Supported PCIe NVMe/AHCI SSDs. |
PCIe x16 SSD adapter
The adapter is intended for connecting SSD drives based on the PCIe x1 - x16 interface to the ports of the PC-3000 Portable III. Supported PCIe NVMe/AHCI SSDs. |
SATA-mSATA adapter for SSDs based on the mSATA interface
SATA-mSATA adapter is designed to connect SSDs based on the mSATA interface to the ports of the PC-3000 systems. This type of SSD uses the SATA transfer interface implemented in a small-size version of the mSATA form factor. The adapter is equipped with a 3.3V power LED and drive activity LED indicators. Half-Size and Full-Size PCBs are supported. |
PC PATA-SATA adapter for SSDs based on PHISON PS3109 and PS3111 controllers
When you work with SSDs based on Phison PS3109 and PS3111 controllers in Techno Mode, the technological commands can not be transmitted via the Marvell 88SA8052 bridge controllers installed in PC-3000 Express and PC-3000 UDMA-E. That is why you should use the external PC PATA-SATA adapter based on Jmicron 20330 chip. The PC PATA-SATA adapter should be installed in the IDE connector (PATA0 or PATA 1) of the PC-3000 Express board (or PATA 0 of the PC-3000 UDMA-E board). PC-PATA-SATA adapter is powered by a splitter cable (included in the adapter delivery kit), which is also powered by Power PATA cable (white 4-pin Molex) from the PC-3000 Express or PC-3000 UDMA-E. |
How to connect the PC PATA-SATA adapter:
Once you connect the PC PATA-SATA adapter, one of the PATA ports of the PC-3000 Express or PC-3000 UMDA-E turns into a SATA port that allows you to work with SSDs based on PHISON PS3109 and PS3111 in the Techno mode. When you launch the PC-3000 software, please select the PATA port (to which the PC PATA-SATA adapter is connected and which works as a SATA port). That’s it! Now you can recover data from SSDs based on Phison PS3109 and PS3111 controllers. |
SATA-M.2 adapter for SSDs based on the M.2 key B or Key (B+M) interface
SATA-M.2 adapter is designed to connect SSDs based on the M.2 key B or Key (B+M) interface to the ports of the PC-3000 systems. This type of SSD uses the SATA transfer interface implemented in a small-size version of the M.2 form factor. The adapter is equipped with a 3.3V power LED and drive activity LED indicators. The following sizes of the single and double-sided PCBs (D1 to D5) are supported: Type 2230, Type 2242, Type 2260, Type 2280 |
