The PC-3000 SSD Software System operates in tandem with one of the three up-to-date hardware platforms – PC-3000 Express, PC-3000 UDMA, or PC-3000 Portable – and it is intended for SSD repair and diagnosis and for data recovery from SSDs with SATA, PATA, mSATA, and M.2 (NGFF) interfaces and the capacity from 64 GB to 1 Tb produced by different manufacturers, such as OCZ, Corsair, Crucial, RunCore, A-DATA, G.Skill, Micron, Plextor, Intel, Samsung, Seagate, Kingston and others. The PC-3000 SSD contains a set of specialized utilities for working with solid-state drives. This set includes the Universal Utility for diagnosing any SSD based on the ATA-8 specification (both currently existing models and those that will be manufactured in future) and the Active Utilities (Special Utilities) intended for working with a particular drive model in factory mode. It enables to deeply diagnose SSDs, to perform service operations, to re-write the drive's microcode, to get direct access to memory chips, to carry out low-level formatting blocking the damaged cells and placing their addresses into the defect table, and to perform many other useful operations. 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 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 drives'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
PC-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 drives'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. It is planned to add special adapters and connectors that will allow to use technological interfaces to diagnose and repair drives.

Delivery package options for the System:
The PC-3000 SSD System can be operated via the PC-3000 Express, PC-3000 UDMA, or PC-3000 Portable controllers,so there are several delivery options:
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.
