The PC-3000 Portable III keeps enhancing to meet the demands of data recovery engineers and digital forensics examiners. This is the 5th update since we have launched the new product in January 2020 and more useful features are yet to come.

The delivery kit is expanded!

From now on, the specialized 2-in-1 SD/MicroSD Card Reader Adapter is included in the PC-3000 Portable III delivery kit. The new adapter supports SD/MicroSD memory cards with a capacity of 1 TB and below. To learn more, please contact your personal Sales Representative or send us an email at sales@acelab.eu.com

New features of the Standalone Mode:

• Hash sum calculation during data copying and reading.

Data recovery engineers and digital forensics experts consider the PC-3000 Flash as the tool №1 when it comes to extracting data/evidence from damaged NAND Flash devices. It is the only solution that completely supports many drive brands, e.g. SanDisk, new Phison, or SiliconMotion, so you can get file systems, and separate files both. Now we have expanded the list of supported storage media by adding 9 types of translators for SanDisk 8sec, 2 subtypes of translators for SM2704, and have improved algorithms for PS8210.

Also, you can now edit the solution before implementing it and reproduce the result in the transformation graph form that increases the efficiency of the solutions.

All these features and many others are now available with the following English, Japanese, Korean and Chinese software update:

• PC-3000 Flash software Ver. 7.4.11

For the first time, the ACE Lab Technology Conference on Data Recovery & Digital Forensics was held online. Although we really missed our usual in-person component of the Prague event, we were very glad that so many of you could join the live streams on April 23-24, 2020. And this proves just how much the data recovery engineers and digital forensics experts are keen on being up-to-date with the latest advances in the field provided by ACE Lab.

The ACE Lab TechCon 2020 in numbers:

This year we conducted 2 identical events for different time zones so that you could choose the most convenient time to attend the conference. Over 1000 people from 92 countries signed up for the meeting and joined in at the various stages of the live streams to ask their questions.

As always, the participants were able to learn new data recovery techniques, to find out smart and easy solutions to the most burning challenges, and to discover different tips & tricks to simplify their work even further. All these and many other features are now available with the latest software update.

During the sessions, we showed 18 live case demonstrations on how to most efficiently recover data and evidence from all types of storage media devices with the PC-3000 Products.

Today you can watch the video of the whole event. If you are interested in a particular topic, please choose the exact timestamp on our website.

See you next year in Prague!
