ACE Lab developers continue enhancing the software of the PC-3000 Portable III System with new features for the user community. As a result, the most universal and powerful tool became even faster – now the speed of internal copying is up to 490 MB/s. We also added the support of HDDs and SSDs with a logical sector size other than 512 bytes that had not previously been possible. Besides, it’s no longer required to disable the Secure Boot option in UEFI (BIOS) before the PC-3000 Portable III installation.

Up to 490 MB/s speed for internal copying

The USB 3.0 interface restricts a port-to-port copying speed in the PC-3000 Portable III Data Extractor to 360 MB/s. That is why we have enhanced the firmware of the PC-3000 Portable III and implemented the “internal” copying to transfer data from port to port without involving a PC. In such a case, the attribute map is filled and the copy speed reaches up to 490 MB/s. To get the maximum possible speed, you need to use a large block for reading/writing procedures.

The high-speed copying mode is activated automatically under the following conditions:

• The drives are connected to the ports of the PC-3000 Portable III;
• There is no need to transfer read data to a computer.

For example, if data is copied “on the card” and there are no “connected” alternative cards (which require reading data from the drive to fill them in), the copying will be performed “inside” the PC-3000 Portable III at maximum speed.

HDDs/SSDs with logical sector size other than 512 bytes are now supported

From now on, you can recover data from HDDs/SSDs with a logical sector size other than 512 bytes with the PC-3000 Portable III. Previously, it was not possible to implement such support due to the limitations of the Marvell 88SA8052 bridge in the PC-3000 Express/UDMA. Now, we have enhanced the firmware of the PC-3000 Portable III controller and the high-level software – the core of the PC-3000 Systems – to support this format.

No longer need to disable the Secure Boot option in UEFI (BIOS) before the PC-3000 Portable III installation

We have developed and added to the latest software update new drivers to meet the requirements of the Microsoft Windows 10 OS digital signature:

• Driver for the PC-3000 Portable III controller;
• Driver for the virtual storage device mounting in OS

Previously it was not possible to install the PC-3000 Portable III Systems on the OEM laptops and brand PCs (such as Lenovo, Dell, HP, etc.), which have a Secure Boot option enabled in UEFI (BIOS), due to the Microsoft digital signature verification error. In this case, the customer had to reinstall his copy of Windows 10 to the boxed version (BOX) which allows disabling the Secure Boot option in UEFI (BIOS).

With the new drivers, you do not need to do this anymore, since you can install the PC-3000 Portable III System on PC's with active UEFI Secure Boot.

The new version of the software is available for download in your Personal Update Boxes.

Each year, we look forward to meeting our PC-3000 community at the ACE Technology Conference on Data Recovery & Digital Forensics which is regularly held in Prague, the Czech Republic. Over the past few weeks, we have been closely monitoring the situation around COVID-19 (coronavirus) to ensure we are taking the necessary measures to protect the health and safety of all our attendees. But the uncertainty is increasing at the moment. The Exceptional measures of the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic prohibit conducting events for more than 100 people, as such we have to cancel the in-person component of the ACE Lab Tech Con 2020 this time.

However, we just can’t postpone the event since we have so much interesting to share with you! So we will host the free ACE Lab Technology Conference as an online experience!

All the topics, live demos, questions-answers will be available as they were scheduled for a live conference. The attendees will get the same bonuses: discount vouchers, useful online handouts, etc.

Attend the ACE Lab conference from work, home, or wherever you want:

Since we go online this year, we have decided to hold 2 equal ACE Lab Conferences for different time zones. Please note, that the first event will be conducted on Thursday, April 23, 2020.

Those who have already registered for the ACE Lab Tech Con 2020 will automatically receive email updates about the online event. If you haven’t registered yet, book your seat now as the number of attendees is limited:

The conference agenda, exact time, and other details will be announced soon!

There are so many features that have been added to the PC-3000 Portable III just within one month:

• The SD and micro SD memory cards support. To recover data and evidence, you additionally need a simple 2-in-1 USB card reader. The supported capacities are 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 GB.

• The Apple MacBook SSD Support: M.2 NGFF PCI-e NVMe Macbook SSD 2013-2017 (12+16 pin). To deal with such devices, you additionally need a MacBook Air / Pro Retina 2013-2017 SSD to M.2 NGFF key adapter.

• The “Diagnostics” section of the Standalone Mode now has the “View sector” Mode in hexadecimal and symbolic form. So you can check if there is any data on the drive and whether this data is encrypted. Besides, you can view the MBR and GPT tables, along with boot sectors of the partitions, and much more! This mode expends the scope of the PC-3000 Portable III in the Standalone Mode (without a host computer).
