Dealing with native USB SSDs used to be one of the trickiest parts of the data recovery job. Previously, retrieving data from such drives meant risky soldering of SATA connectors — a complex, time-consuming procedure that required steady hands and patience. Moreover, for SSDs with an NVMe (PCIe) interface, such soldering may cause instability during further data recovery processes.

Until now.

With the latest PC‑3000 SSD software update (Ver. 3.9.8, included in the PC‑3000 7.9.9), you can now connect native USB SSDs directly — no soldering, no extra steps. Simply plug in the drive and work with it in both Standard and Techno modes, just like you would with any other SSD.

During our recent webinar "Take control of native USB SSD data recovery", we showed how easier the process has become. No more complicated workarounds — just a simple, reliable connection that saves you time and effort. Watch the webinar: https://youtu.be/3a3eDCHx6G8?si=a0pU-s6NOCPerrTg

As we predicted at ACE Lab Tech Week 2024-2025, native USB SSDs are on the rise and we've added even more support in the recent Summer Update. For now, explore the newly added USB SSD models already available in the latest software version.

Ever wondered what it takes to recover data from a huge RAID?

Large storage systems are typically built from several reasonably sized RAIDs. Still, there are cases where all the drives are combined into a single massive array - and the bigger the storage, the higher the chance of running into something unusual.

Recently, we handled a 96-drive array consisting of three RAID-6 stripes with an uncommon XOR-RS distribution.

In rare configurations like this, tools that rely on fully automated modes often fall short - yet analyzing everything completely manually is simply not feasible. What made the difference here was having the right tool and expert support from ACE Lab engineers. PC‑3000 with RAID Add-on let us identify the required parameters and apply the very same standard method we would have used for a 16‑drive setup.

Master the everyday 4‑16 drive recoveries, and you'll be ready when the big project arrives. As RAID recoveries are on the rise, labs should be prepared to win the high-value contracts. 📈

It’s time to try it now to be ready for tomorrow’s cases!

In RAID recovery, success isn't determined by drive count—it's all about the right tool and your skill. With ACE Lab RAID technologies you’ll be fully equipped!💫

The new PC-3000 software update version 7.9.9 is now officially released!🔥

PC-3000 7.9.9
Data Extractor version 6.9.6
PC-3000 SSD 3.9.8

With this PC‑3000 update, you get support for new drive families, refined recovery algorithms, and new features of the Data Extractor – to extract even more data than before.

Key highlights: expanded support for Maxio SATA controllers (MAS0902, DM918, MAS1102, DM928) as well as extended initialization with ReadRetry for NVMe/USB SM2263XT and SM2320G. The improved MAS1102 support alone can turn previously unsolvable SATA SSDs into success cases.

Additionally, the new initialization for SM2263XT/SM2320G maximizes read quality – even on drives where most sectors were previously flagged with a black status (as BADs).

The final chapter of our TRIMed SSD series is here! 🔥

USB SSDs are appearing in labs more and more frequently – and in many cases, they've been formatted to the point where standard recovery tools struggle to find anything at all.

The catch? These aren't ordinary USB flash drives.
They're fully-fledged SSDs equipped with TRIM, wear leveling, and background cleanup routines. And that means time is not on your side after formatting.

In this article, we walk you through a real recovery case step by step, using a Transcend ESD310C as our example.
