The PC-3000 SAS is a hardware-software solution intended for testing and restoring damaged HDDs with SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) or SCSI based interfaces. The PC-3000 SAS coupled with the Data Extractor SAS forms the PC-3000 SAS/SCSI Professional System, which allows you to recover data from SAS or SCSI based HDDs. To repair these HDDs, you only need the PC-3000 SAS – for data recovery you need both the PC-3000 SAS and the Data Extractor SAS. The PC-3000 SAS Controller The new specialized PC-3000 SAS Controller is a PC extension board for the PCI Express x4 bus that takes two adjacent slots which allows for working with four HDDs simultaneously. Four independent channels provide up to a 300 MB/s data transfer rate.

Chart performance for four SAS HDD drives Working with SATA HDDs The PC-3000 SAS controller allows you to connect SATA HDDs in read-write modes, test their surface, copy data, and make fast image copies. Power supply adapter The four-channel power control adapter supplies power and protects the HDD from overvoltage and current overloading. In case of any contingency the HDD power supply is switched off automatically.
Resource Management of the PC-3000 SAS board One of the most important new features of the PC-3000 SAS is allowing for launching of the PC-3000 utility and Data Extractor tasks as separate OS processes. The 'PC-3000 SAS Resource manager' software makes using the new PC-3000 SAS very easy and effective. It manages port and related process activity, controls the status of the ports, checks process conditions and kills processes if necessary. Once a process is started it can use any of the available ports on the PC-3000 SAS board. For instance, four processes can be used for every port or one process can use four ports etc.
The main principles of PC-3000 SAS functionality The PC-3000 SAS solution tests, diagnoses, and repairs SAS/SCSI HDDs according to the SAS/SCSI HDD specification and also in technological HDD modes. The PC-3000 SAS software consists of a Universal utility aimed at general testing for of SAS/SCSI/SATA HDDs and Specialized utilities to work with SAS/SCSI HDDs in technological mode. Universal utility The following procedures can be performed with the Universal utility:. General checking of HDD efficiency. Testing the surface for reading, writing, verification. Viewing the P-list and G-list tables with hidden defects.
Viewing SMART parameters (Log Sense). Viewing and changing the configuration of HDD parameters. The Replication function allows both for creating an HDD image (full sector-by-sector copy) and for saving any HDD surface area to file on another HDD and writing saved data on your drive. The Sector Editor provides for viewing and editing of defined surface areas. All results can be saved into a file or database. All actions are recorded.
Testing for read, write, and verification are conducted by HDD performance testing coupled with performance charts. Specialized utilities IBM, Maxtor-Quantum, Fujitsu and Seagate Special utilities allow for testing HDDs in technological mode, and for checking and recovering service information. If any errors are detected, these utilities use additional UEC - Unit Error Code (error Vendor code list). The UEC-list provides details about the root cause of the error found. In many cases this helps to exactly define all possible ways of repairing the HDD and recovering data from it. The Specialized utilities are used for testing and recovery of service information, modules, and configuration pages; recalculating (regenerating) of translator; testing of magnetic heads and surfaces with physical parameters; and clearing of SMART.
How to work with SCSI HDDs You can work with SCSI HDDs with any SCSI controller – Host Bus Adapter (not included in the PC-3000 SAS Kit, but has to be purchased separately). With a SCSI controller – Host Bus Adapter, the functionality is the same as for the PC-3000 for SCSI. The PC-3000 SAS can work with any SCSI HDD that has a parallel interface. In the same way as it is implemented for SAS HDDs, SAS/SCSI HDD testing can be conducted in the Universal utility (SCSI HDD general testing) and in the Specialized utilities (to work with SCSI HDDs in technological mode). Operating with SCSI HDDs, the PC-3000 SAS controller works as a power supply adapter that allows for controlling the power supply of up to four SCSI HDDs. How to work with SATA HDDs The PC-3000 SAS works with SATA HDDs in read-write modes.
It enables testing of the HDD surface, for example to screen or certify. You can test up to four SATA drives independently at the same time. The PC-3000 SAS can be used for replication operations (sector-by-sector copy creation) in different combinations of SAS, SCSI and SATA drives. Data transfer is done at the highest speed possible for the HDD and is restricted only by the internal rate of data exchange between the disk surface and the internal disk buffer. How to recover data with the Data Extractor To recover data you should not only use the PC-3000 SAS, but the PC-3000 SAS/SCSI Professional System that consists of the PC-3000 SAS and the Data Extractor SAS. The Data Extractor SAS is a professional data recovery software that allows for recovery of data from SAS and SCSI drives connected to the PC-3000 SAS controller and the PC SCSI controller (which is not included in the PC-3000 SAS Kit).
The Data Extractor SAS can recover data from physically and logically damaged HDDs with various file systems: FAT, exFAT, NTFS, EXT2/3/4, HFS+, UFS1/2, XFS, ReiserFS, VMFS.

The following English PC-3000 software updates are released: PC-3000 Express/UDMA/Portable Ver.6.0.14 PC-3000 SAS Ver.6.0.14 PC-3000 SSD Ver.2.0.2 Data Extractor Ver.5.3.1 Data Extractor RAID Edition Ver.5.3.1 PC-3000 software has been supplemented with numerous significant and helpful features. The list of supported HDD families has been considerably extended. A lot of new forensic features have also appeared in the latest software release.
By updating your PC-3000 software, you will be able to enjoy the newest features and enhancements. When preparing this release, we took a special approach. We have made this release larger and more comprehensive than the previous ones, as we planned to provide the owners of the old 'green' PC-3000 UDMA with the maximum volume of useful features. Starting from the 1st of January 2016, no software updates will be available for the old “green” PC-3000 UDMA. All further software updates will be provided only for the new product line of the PC-3000. You can upgrade your old tools to the new PC-3000 products till the 31st of December 2015.
