What it does

The Portable PRO puts the PC-3000 tools in one portable unit. ACE Lab says its full mode includes the features of PC-3000 Express and PC-3000 UDMA, so the same firmware-level repair is available outside a fixed lab PC.

  • An easy mode for quick checks, ID and S.M.A.R.T., password removal and copying data
  • A full mode with the firmware-level PC-3000 utilities
  • Images a drive sector by sector on its own, without a computer, with hash checking
  • Works on up to 3 drives at once
  • Built-in oscilloscope for checking the drive's power and motor signals
  • Sold as kits: HDD, SSD, RAID, Ultimate and All-in-One

Compared with the Portable III it adds USB 3.1, three NVMe drives at a time instead of one, the touch screen, the oscilloscope and a stronger power supply.
