PC-3000 Portable III Systems

 

What do you do with damaged or password-protected SATA/PATA/USB HDD, SATA/PCIe SSD, RAID, USB Flash drives, SD/MicroSD cards?

 

DO NOTHING

OUTSOURCE THE CASE

EXTRACT A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF EVIDENCE WITH IMAGING TOOLS

 

WSTART TO RECOVER MORE EVIDENCE THAN OTHERS WITH EASY-TO-USE DATA RECOVERY EQUIPMENT!

 

THE MOST UNIVERSAL tool for damaged storage media

 

Hardware-software systems to recover data from the majority of damaged storage media: SATA/PATA/USB HDD, SATA/PCIe (M.2 NVMe/AHCI, Apple SSD, PCIe x16) SSD, SAS, RAID, logically damaged USB Flash drives, SD/mSD cards.

Perfectly efficient for DIAGNOSTICS AND DATA RECOVERY

 

Use the PC-3000 Portable III to quickly and easily diagnose practically any type of storage media devices, find the reason for damage, make images and recover as much data as possible. And 2 active licenses for a desktop computer/ laptop along with a Standalone Mode to work without a host computer, allows you to arrange your workstation wherever you need it!

 

Superb for both on-site and in-lab data recovery

4 diagnostic ports to recover data from 3 drives at the same time

 

Connect your storage media directly via the PC-3000 Portable III source ports: USB, SATA, PATA, PCIe (NVMe/AHCI, PCIe x16, Apple Macbook)

Target SATA1 and SATA2 ports for data imaging to destination drives

 

In certain modes, you may also use them to increase to 3 the number of devices you deal with at the same time. Max speed of SATA ports: up to 490 MB/s

 

HARDWARE WRITE PROTECTION TO ENSURE EVIDENCE INTEGRITY

 

A special switch on the device blocks any alteration of data during the extraction or imaging with the source SATA0 and USB ports. When it’s turned on, a yellow LED lights up and indicates that the record block is activated.

LOGGING AND REPORTS GENERATION

 

View, save and print reports about the condition of drives you examine for further investigation. The detailed information in the report can help you to better understand the internal hardware status of the drive you deal with.

SAS HDD / SSD SUPPORT

 

With the new SAS adapter for PC-3000 Portable III, you can conduct advanced diagnostics, repair and data recovery from HDD and SSD with the SAS interface (Serial Attached SCSI).

BREAKTHROUGH: PCIe SSD SUPPORT!

 

The world’s first and only solution to deal with damaged PCIe SSDs! Stay ahead of your competitors: diagnose the condition of PCIe SSDs (NVMe/AHCI, Apple Macbook, PCIe x16) and recover data from such damaged devices thanks to the special adapters: M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD/M.2 SATA SSD adapter, PCIe NVMe/AHCI Adapter for Apple Macbook SSD, and PCIe x16 SSD Adapter.

SD/MicroSD MEMORY CARDS SUPPORT

 

The PC-3000 Portable III delivery kit includes the specialized 2-in-1 SD/MicroSD Card Reader Adapter. As such, you can recover data from logically damaged SD/MicroSD memory cards with a capacity of 1 TB and below!

FASTER AND EASIER WORK WITH USB HDD/SSD/FLASH DRIVES

 

A direct connection allows you to have a full PWR control and stable reading of partially damaged USB drives with many bad sectors/freezes without the OS and driver influence on storage media. With the PC-3000 Portable III USB Host, you can also send Techno Commands, so in most cases it’s possible to save time on searching for a donor PCB or soldering the SATA interface. Besides, you are able to deal with logically damaged NAND Flash drives!

 

PC-3000 PORTABLE III OPERATING MODES

Brand-new Standalone Mode

Standalone Mode Сreate data images from USB Flash, SATA/PATA/USB HDD, PCIe/SATA/USB SSD without a host computer. Drive diagnostics, creation of the sector-by-sector copies, erasing (cleaning) of the drives are available. More features are going to be added with the software updates.

Easy Mode for Digital Forensics

Forensics data recovery is easier than you might think! The Easy Mode covers almost all of your daily cases with logically damaged HDDs: checks the drive’s condition, saves the report about it, reads the drive ID and S.M.A.R.T. parameters, removes passwords from security-locked drives, views/copies data, and much more!

High-end Full-Featured Mode

to recover as many cases of different complexity as ever possible

Full-Featured mode Get maximum evidence from damaged storage devices by yourself or with the help of our Technical Support Engineers no matter how difficult your case is! The mode includes top features that you may already know from the other PC-3000 flagship solutions: PC-3000 Express and PC-3000 UDMA. No other tool can recover data like PC-3000 does!
