PC-3000 Express HDD

admin — Thu, 04 Aug 2022 12:17:11 +0000

PC-3000 Express HDD

The PC-3000 Express is a hardware-software solution intended for diagnosing, repairing and recovering data from damaged HDDs based on SATA (Serial ATA) and PATA (IDE) interfaces for numerous vendors (Seagate, Western Digital, Fujitsu, Samsung, Maxtor, Quantum, IBM (HGST), HITACHI, TOSHIBA), for various capacities (from 500 MB to 6 TB) and various form factors: 3.5" - desktop drives, 2.5" and 1.8" - laptop drives.

The PC-3000 Express coupled with the Data Extractor Express forms the PC-3000 Express Professional System that enables you to recover data from SATA, and PATA (IDE) HDDs. If you wish to repair these HDDs, you need only the PC-3000 Express, and for data recovery you need both the PC-3000 Express and the Data Extractor Express.

The PC-3000 Express hardware

The new powerful PC-3000 Express is a six-port tester-board which is inserted into a PCI-Express expansion slot. Six diagnostic ports are 4 SATA ports (data transfer speed up to 133 Mb/sec) and 2 PATA ports (speed up to 100 Mb/sec). The primary ports are SATA0 and SATA1 while SATA2 and SATA3 are switchable with the PATA ports (PATA0 and PATA1). You can connect four drives to the PC-3000 Express simultaneously - two SATA drives and two SATA or PATA drives, depending on your needs. Thus, you can work either with 4 SATA drives or 2 SATA and 2 PATA at the same time.

When developing the new PC-3000 Express system ACElab used their “know-how”, all gained experience and requests from our users who work in data recovery. As a result, they have achieved a significant increase in performance and efficiency, making this professional product the best tool for the contemporary data recovery industry.

Processing modes:

SATA x4 — UDMA133, UDMA100, UDMA66, UDMA33, PIO4, PIO3, PIO2, PIO1, PIO0
PATA x2 - UDMA100, UDMA66, UDMA33, PIO4, PIO3, PIO2, PIO1, PIO0

All ports are separable and independent. Performance is maintained almost at the same level even when all ports have simultaneous loads. This has become possible because of efficient use of hardware buffering of the data transferred from the 4 UDMA ports through the PCI-Express 4-channel bus.

The performance for four connected HDD drives

Intelligent power supply:

A 4-channel power supply is used to power the HDDs which are connected to PC-3000 Express. The power suppy protects the HDDs from overvoltage and overcurrent. In case of emergency, the HDDs will be powered off automatically. Furthermore, each channel has feedback with the PC-3000 software for monitoring the stability of +5V and +12V voltage supply and informing the user about any problems in power circuits.

The intelligent power suppy unitr of PC-3000 Express has the following features for advanced HDD diagnostic and troubleshooting:

The oscilloscope functionality. You can get a graph visually representing the precise information about the current power status in real time.
This feature allows to perform advanced HDD diagnostic and determine the cause of failure.

Power voltage oscilloscope screen after HDD start

The power supply is equipped with a sound speaker which signals about the PC power supply unit failure or HDD overcurrent. Triggered protection system turns off the voltage on the corresponding channel.

Resource Management of the PC-3000 Express board

One of the most important new features of the PC-3000 Express is to allow for launching of the PC-3000 utility and the Data Extractor tasks as separate OS processes. The "PC-3000 Resource manager" software makes using the new PC-3000 Express very easy and effective. The "PC-3000 Resource manager" manages port and related process activity, controls the status of the ports, checks process conditions and kills processes when it is necessary.

Once a process is started it can use any number of PC-3000 Express ports. For instance, four processes can be launched for each port or two processes can be launched: the first one works with three ports and the second one only with one port and so on.

The main principles of PC-3000 functionality

A Hard Disk Drive (HDD) consists of three main parts: the Hard Drive Assembly, the printed circuit board and the internal software. If one of these parts is damaged, the HDD does not work. The PC-3000 allows you to diagnose the HDD, fix damaged HDD modules, switch off defective heads, block access to the damaged area of magnetic surfaces, get access to the user data and many other functions.

HDD diagnosis can be done in standard (user) and technological (factory) modes. There are special PC-3000 adapters used for switching the HDD into technological mode to get access to the internal HDD software and user data.

To make initial diagnostics, the PC-3000 universal utility is launched. It diagnoses the HDD in user mode. The following checks are done: if the HDD is identified and if the HDD is password locked; check of surface access by LBA to the user data area and HDD translation system etc. If there are any HDD malfunctions, a special vendor-specific technological utility (intended for a specific HDD vendor) is used to repair the drive and gain access to user data in technological mode.

Technological utilities

The PC-3000 Express includes 16 special utilities used for various vendors, architectures and HDD families. Special utilities help to conduct HDD diagnosis on a low level, reveal damages and try to exclude them using special program methods and gain access to user data. If you wish to only repair the HDD and you do not need user data, you can make full drive initialization, switch off damaged heads, hide defects on the magnetic surface and reconfigure the HDD.

All specialized PC-3000 utilities are capable of performing the following actions:

diagnose the HDD in technological mode
verify and recover the HDD service area
read-write Flash ROMs area
load service information access program – LDR
modify HDD heads configuration tables
review defect tables (P-list, G-list, T-list, etc.)
hide found defects of magnetic surface
recalculate (initialize) translator
change configuration and identification parameters
reset logs and S.M.A.R.T parameters
watch and reset HDD passwords
work with the Data Extractor

How to use the PC-3000 Express to recover data

The most frequent reasons of HDD damage:

failure of one or more magnetic-resistance heads
damaged service information modules
magnetic surface defects like scratches
damaged PCB
other damage

In many cases it is not necessary to fully repair the HDD to recover data. It could suffice to correct the internal HDD software. This allows for temporal access to user data and you can read the required information.

If one of the magnetic heads is damaged, we can get data access through the remaining heads using “MR-Head Shift technology”. The damaged head is substituted by the adjacent correct magnetic head. It allows for keeping the integrity of the translated data and for reading big data volumes without having to exchange the head stack.
If there is a problem with the initial HDD initialization, the detailed start process log can show some information that helps to identify the damaged program modules with service information. Service area copies can be switched over to make the correct system head initialization. If the initialization process fails due to the problem with loading program modules into RAM, you can use the special Loader that creates essential HDD content into RAM.
Technological mode allows reading of data using physical parameters in PZCHS or line physical area with ABA. It is very often the only way to read data from significantly damaged surfaces.
When the HDD PCB is damaged you can use another correct PCB taken from an HDD donor. This will save a lot of time in gaining access to user data.
USB HDD access can be done using the COM port or adapted SATA HDD PCB.

How to use the PC-3000 Express to repair HDDs?

The PC-3000 provides a wide range of functions for repairing HDDs. It enables the user to overwrite FLASH ROM, to switch off damaged magnetic heads, to detect and exclude damage in the HDD service area, to recalculate and overwrite service modules, to regenerate the translation system, to clean and reset S.M.A.R.T. logs and tables, to detect bad areas in magnetic surfaces and to exclude them from the HDD working area. Afterward, identification parameters are corrected (including serial number, model, capacity, etc.)

There are 5 main HDD repair stages:

HDD PCB is diagnosed. It helps to evaluate how difficult it is to repair this HDD and if it is worth doing it. Board can be repaired or substituted by another board taken from an HDD donor. Flash ROM is checked for integrity and version correspondence. If necessary, they are rewritten from the PC-3000 resource database.
Magnetic heads are checked, bad heads are disabled.
HDD service area is diagnosed. Service information modules are checked on all copies. Damaged modules are recovered or overwritten in accordance with reference data. Some service modules are cleaned and logs are reset. Calibration is launched for those HDDs where it is possible to do it.
Searching the bad sectors and tracks on HDD surfaces and hiding them. In case of seriously damaged surface and numerous bad sectors, this surface area is disabled. If defects are minor and local, separate areas can be switched off or defects can be hidden by using an HDD backup zone, HDD capacity remains the same. For some drives SelfScan procedure can be launched.
Available HDD logical space is determined. Max LBA parameters, model name, serial number, etc. are formed.

The PC-3000 Express HDD firmware database

The PC-3000 Express Professional system has a massive database of factory firmware resources: FLASH ROMs, service area modules, service area tracks and other HDD critical resources. The database is systematized and stores all data in compressed format. It allows getting quick and easy data access and sharing firmware resources between several PC-3000 Kits.

The main advantages of the PC-3000 database:

FireBird database server is used (one of the most reliable SQL servers)
adaptive indexation mechanism is used to speed up the search process
shared firmware database can be created for use by several PC-3000 kits at the same time
backup policy can be managed
you can create a database with more than 4GB size
you may add your own resources, for example, new objects, from the latest HDD models
all users can exchange resources they have between each other

Dedicated modes for experienced users

There are two dedicated modes intended for experienced users: integrated script system and ATA commander.

Script system – allows creating algorithms used for issuing commands to HDDs in Visual Basic Script including data preparation and results interpretation. Advanced object model is used for getting access to HDDs. This object model is used by PC-3000 utilities. This algorithm can be added to any PC-3000 utility as a "user" mode.

ATA commander – interactive mode that allows issuing commands to HDDs (including technological commands) even by a user who does not have programming skills. You can set values for HDD registers (including registers for LBA 48 mode), and prepare and provide HDD data commands using a binary text editor. The sequence of supplied HDD commands can be classified by types and saved to file for later use or for sending to another PC-3000 owner. Judging from HDD command data, ATA Commander can generate script text for using it from Script system or as a "user mode".

LCD Monitor: 22", 1920x1080

The main principles of PC-3000 SAS functionality

The PC-3000 SAS solution tests, diagnoses, and repairs SAS/SCSI HDDs according to the SAS/SCSI HDD specification and also in technological HDD modes.

The PC-3000 SAS software consists of a Universal utility aimed at general testing for of SAS/SCSI/SATA HDDs and Specialized utilities to work with SAS/SCSI HDDs in technological mode.

Universal utility

The following procedures can be performed with the Universal utility:

General checking of HDD efficiency
Testing the surface for reading, writing, verification
Viewing the P-list and G-list tables with hidden defects
Viewing SMART parameters (Log Sense)
Viewing and changing the configuration of HDD parameters
The Replication function allows both for creating an HDD image (full sector-by-sector copy) and for saving any HDD surface area to file on another HDD and writing saved data on your drive.
The Sector Editor provides for viewing and editing of defined surface areas. All results can be saved into a file or database. All actions are recorded. Testing for read, write, and verification are conducted by HDD performance testing coupled with performance charts.

Specialized utilities

IBM, Maxtor-Quantum, Fujitsu and Seagate Special utilities allow for testing HDDs in technological mode, and for checking and recovering service information.

If any errors are detected, these utilities use additional UEC - Unit Error Code (error Vendor code list). The UEC-list provides details about the root cause of the error found. In many cases this helps to exactly define all possible ways of repairing the HDD and recovering data from it.

The Specialized utilities are used for testing and recovery of service information, modules, and configuration pages; recalculating (regenerating) of translator; testing of magnetic heads and surfaces with physical parameters; and clearing of SMART.

How to work with SCSI HDDs

You can work with SCSI HDDs with any SCSI controller – Host Bus Adapter (not included in the PC-3000 SAS Kit, but has to be purchased separately). With a SCSI controller – Host Bus Adapter, the functionality is the same as for the PC-3000 for SCSI. The PC-3000 SAS can work with any SCSI HDD that has a parallel interface.

In the same way as it is implemented for SAS HDDs, SAS/SCSI HDD testing can be conducted in the Universal utility (SCSI HDD general testing) and in the Specialized utilities (to work with SCSI HDDs in technological mode).

Operating with SCSI HDDs, the PC-3000 SAS controller works as a power supply adapter that allows for controlling the power supply of up to four SCSI HDDs.

How to work with SATA HDDs

The PC-3000 SAS works with SATA HDDs in read-write modes. It enables testing of the HDD surface, for example to screen or certify. You can test up to four SATA drives independently at the same time. The PC-3000 SAS can be used for replication operations (sector-by-sector copy creation) in different combinations of SAS, SCSI and SATA drives.

Data transfer is done at the highest speed possible for the HDD and is restricted only by the internal rate of data exchange between the disk surface and the internal disk buffer.

How to recover data with the Data Extractor

To recover data you should not only use the PC-3000 SAS, but the PC-3000 SAS/SCSI Professional System that consists of the PC-3000 SAS and the Data Extractor SAS.

The Data Extractor SAS is a professional data recovery software that allows for recovery of data from SAS and SCSI drives connected to the PC-3000 SAS controller and the PC SCSI controller (which is not included in the PC-3000 SAS Kit).

The Data Extractor SAS can recover data from physically and logically damaged HDDs with various file systems: FAT, exFAT, NTFS, EXT2/3/4, HFS+, UFS1/2, XFS, ReiserFS, VMFS.

PC-3000 SAS advantages

Diagnosis and restoration of SAS HDDs with any capacities on its own SAS controller
Diagnosis and restoration of SCSI HDDs on an external controller
Operation with SATA HDDs in read-write modes both on a SAS controller and on standard motherboard controllers
The combined work of the PC-3000 SAS to work with the Data Extractor SAS provides the widest possibilities to recover data from SAS/SCSI HDD
Maximum possible speed of working with HDDs, restricted only by internal HDD speed
The PC-3000 SAS software is supported by 32-bit and 64-bit OS Windows Platforms
Functions for screening, certification and replication (sector-by-sector copy) in various combinations of SAS, SCSI and SATA HDDs
Four-channel power supply adapter with protection from overvoltage and current overloading
The combination of the SAS/SCSI tools available with the PC-3000 SAS and the data recovery tools of the Data Extractor SAS provides the widest range of possibilities for recovering data from SAS/SCSI HDDs.

PC-3000 SSD

The PC-3000 SSD Software System works in conjunction with one of the three current hardware platforms - PC-3000 Portable Pro, PC-3000 Express or PC-3000 UDMA - and is suitable for SSDs with SATA, PATA, mSATA, M.2, PCIe (NVMe/AHCI), PCIe x16 Appple Macbook, Apple Macbook PRO A1706/1708, Intel Optane, U.2 /U.3, CFexpress interfaces and capacities from 32 GB to 2 TB from various manufacturers such as OCZ, Corsair, Crucial, RunCore, A-DATA, G.Skill, Micron, Plextor, Intel, Samsung, Seagate, SanDisk, Kingston and others.

The PC-3000 SSD includes a set of specialised utilities for working with solid-state drives. This set includes the Universal Utility for diagnostics of all SSDs based on the ATA-8 specification (both currently existing models and those that will be manufactured in the future) and the Active Utilities (Special Utilities) intended for working with a specific drive model in factory mode. It enables in-depth diagnostics of SSDs, performing service operations, rewriting the drive's microcode, directly accessing memory chips, performing low-level formatting that blocks the damaged cells and enters their addresses into the defect table, and performing many other useful operations.

Scope of delivery:

The system software, the resource database - 1 flash drive
User manual

PC-3000 SSD has the following functions for data recovery:

verify and restore the SSD's service information
read and write the content of the SSD's ROM
load the microcode into the drive's RAM
emulate the translator operation in order to get access to user data
view the password and reset the password that was earlier set on an SSD
turn off background processes in an SSD to prevent data damage
provide direct access to the content of memory chips (it makes unsoldering unnecessary)
work with the Data Extractor

C-3000 SSD has the following functions for SSD repair (to recover normal operation):

diagnose an SSD in factory mode
verify and restore the SSD's service information
read and write the content of the SSD's ROM
load the microcode into the drive's RAM
view the logs of hidden defects (P-page, G-page)
perform low-level formatting to hide the discovered defects
change the configuration and identification parameters
reset the logs and S.M.A.R.T. parameters
search for the damaged memory chips

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 PC-3000 Express and UDMA have been added in order to use technological interfaces to diagnose and repair drives.

The PC-3000 SSD is started from the main window of the PC-3000 Express, UDMA, or Portable System by means of clicking a button on the desktop panel

PC-3000 Flash

admin — Wed, 03 Aug 2022 07:14:48 +0000

PC-3000 Flash

The PC-3000 Flash is a hardware-software system intended for recovering data from NAND based devices in such cases where there is no access through the authorized drive interface:

UFD (USB Flash Drive)
SD (Secure Digital Card)
CF (Compact Flash)
micro SD (micro Secure Digital Card)
MS (Memory Stick)
Monolithic Flash Devices
MMC (Multi Media Card)
VoiceRecorder (dictaphone)
iPhone 2G, 3G, 3GS (without hardware encryption)

Data recovery from USB drives, memory cards, mobile storage devices

The PC-3000 Flash is based on our own "know-how" technology of getting direct access to Flash memory microchips. The microchip is desoldered from the storage device and read by our special device – the "Flash reader" – providing access to data when the controller is damaged. This technology greatly increases the chances of successful data recovery even when the storage device is physically damaged.

The PC-3000 Flash contains an up-to-date large memory chip database that allows you to identify and read microchips in automatic mode. Complicated stack organizations which consist of several parts are automatically detected by the PC-3000 Flash as well.

NAND microchip technology is constantly changing: microchips are becoming more high-tech, new principles of functionality are created and new requirements and protocols for microchips appear, for example, TLC microchips. Because of this constant change, the Flash Reader software is continuously updated to provide support for new microchips in accordance with the strict requirements necessary for correct functionality.

The PC-3000 Flash is capable of automatically checking and downloading the latest libraries via the Internet:

Memory chip library
ECC algorithm library
XOR library
Library of Analysis algorithms, preparation and research methods
Page format library
Supply circuit library
Rereading Modes reference book
Dynamic XOR library

If there are any new resources, they are downloaded from the ACE Laboratory server and updated.

In addition to a great variety of manual and visual modes, the PC-3000 Flash has automatic data recovery methods which help solve both simple and difficult cases. For example, in most cases, Complex analysis allows for making all prior operations automatically and get access to user data.

With the PC-3000 Flash, you can recover data with "one-click" using the PC-3000 Flash Global Solution Centre. It is a dream come true for data recovery specialists!

The Global Solution Centre is updated daily!
