The final chapter of our TRIMed SSD series is here! π₯
USB SSDs are appearing in labs more and more frequently β and in many cases, they've been formatted to the point where standard recovery tools struggle to find anything at all.
The catch? These aren't ordinary USB flash drives.
They're fully-fledged SSDs equipped with TRIM, wear leveling, and background cleanup routines. And that means time is not on your side after formatting.
In this article, we walk you through a real recovery case step by step, using a Transcend ESD310C as our example.
π Read the full guide - and know exactly what to do next time.

We're excited to share that ACE Lab recently participated in the 11th International Police Expo, where our trusted partner Zoom Group Company showcased PCβ3000 solutions to law enforcement professionals and digital forensic experts from across India and around the globe.
Live demonstrations of the PCβ3000 Mobile PRO drew visitors to our booth, where they experienced its latest innovation - the Accelerator Software Add-on - which delivers exponentially higher data extraction speeds.
Attendees also saw firsthand how the PCβ3000 technology can empower their labs with safe and efficient evidence acquisition - helping digital forensic experts finally unlock shelved cases and bring them to a successful resolution.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by!
We look forward to continuing to support the forensic community with industry-leading tools for data recovery and digital investigations.

The new PC-3000 software update version 7.9.9 is now officially released!π₯
PC-3000 7.9.9
Data Extractor version 6.9.6
PC-3000 SSD 3.9.8
With this PCβ3000 update, you get support for new drive families, refined recovery algorithms, and new features of the Data Extractor β to extract even more data than before.
Key highlights: expanded support for Maxio SATA controllers (MAS0902, DM918, MAS1102, DM928) as well as extended initialization with ReadRetry for NVMe/USB SM2263XT and SM2320G. The improved MAS1102 support alone can turn previously unsolvable SATA SSDs into success cases.
Additionally, the new initialization for SM2263XT/SM2320G maximizes read quality β even on drives where most sectors were previously flagged with a black status (as BADs).

How to recover data from a huge RAID?
Large storage systems are usually built from several reasonably sized RAIDs. But sometimes all drives are combined into one massive array. The bigger the storage, the higher the chance of something unusual.
We handled a 96-drive stripe across three RAID-6 arrays with an uncommon XOR-RS distribution.
In such rare configurations, tools relying on fully automated modes often fail, yet complete manual analysis is not feasible. What helped here was the right tool and expert support from ACE Lab engineers. PCβ3000 with RAID Add-on let us identify required parameters and apply the same standard method we would use for a 16βdrive setup.
Tackle typical 4β16 drive recoveries to master big projects! As RAID cases rise, be ready for high-value contracts.
In RAID recovery, success is determined by the right tool and your skill, not by drive count.
Try a free 14-day trial and see that RAID recovery isn't that hard!

Previously, retrieving data from USB SSDs meant risky and time-consuming soldering of SATA connectors. For SSDs with NVMe (PCIe) interface, such soldering may cause instability during further data recovery processes.
With the latest PCβ3000 SSD Software Update (Ver. 3.9.8, included in the PCβ3000 7.9.9), you can connect native USB SSDs directly without soldering. Simply plug in the drive and work with it in Standard and Techno modes, like with any other SSD.
On the webinar Take control of native USB SSD data recovery, we showed how easier it has become. No more complications β just a simple, fast and reliable connection.
Native USB SSDs rise, and we've added more support in the latest Update
List of supported USB SSDs
(USB SSD model, USB bridge chip + controller):
Transcend ESD400: ASM1153E (USB) + SM2246XT (SATA)
Transcend ESD230C: ASM235CM (USB) + SM2258XT (SATA)
Lenovo ThinkPlus TU200: ASM235CM (USB) + SM2259XT (SATA)
HP P700: JMS583 (USB) + SM2263XT (NVMe)
Smartbuy S3: ASM1153E (USB) + PS3111 (SATA)

Case Study: 17 shelved cases successfully recovered!π₯
One of our customers had 17 pieces of SM2263XT drives - packed with tricky, unsupported memory chips like Hynix 3DV7, Samsung, YMTC, and SanDisk.
Thanks to the new SM2263XT Initialization feature in our latest 7.9.9 release, all drives have been successfully recovered - without partial reads, BAD sectors or temperature tricks.
Update today and turn your on-hold cases into a success!
