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!

4 DIAGNOSTIC PORTS TO RECOVER EVIDENCE 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

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 simultaneously. Max speed of SATA ports: up to 360 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.

BREAKTHROUGH: M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD SUPPORT!

The world’s only solution to deal with damaged NVMe SSDs! Recover evidence when no one can: diagnose the condition of NVMe SSDs and extract data from such damaged devices thanks to a special universal M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD/M.2 SATA SSD adapter included in the delivery kit.
