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.

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.
