Hello Friends! There are a few useful features were added in PC-3000 v6.2, and one of them is module 30 blocking in ROM. What is it and how does it work, we will discuss in this article.
Hey all,
We have this problem when customers try to ‘crack’ Samsung drive and get access to data without user password. Pay attention that this procedure works for cases where the drive is protected by USER password. If any drive is protected by MASTER password and you don’t know it then you can format data not recover it.
As you know there are different software that allow to encrypt users area.
Our developers proceed to research a ways for decrypt drives encrypted by software methods.
PC-3000 version 6.2.x allow to work with such encrypted drives and decrypt by special option in Data Extractor tool.
How to do it? – Welcome to this article!
Hello Friends! Sometimes we meet the drives with damaged module 03. If we look at this module in modules table, we can see the description:
0003 Format Select Data Module, and it’s priority is As: unique for each HDD and critical for data access.
From Marvell manual we know:
This module is present in some drives only. It was introduced in the Zeus drive family.
Before that the zone allocation table was built in the firmware and remained permanent
for each specific firmware version. Now that the recording density depends upon the quality of magnetic heads installed in each individual drive, practically every HDD has its own zone allocation table.
If the original table and the table recorded in service area do not match, a drive will either freeze during start or it will be unable to read the user data. If the module gets lost, restoring it or picking from another drive does not seem possible.
So what to do if module 03 is damaged by all SA copies?
As you know, we added the automatic restoration of module 03 in PC-3000 v6.2.
Let’s see the possibility of restoration using DragFly4 drive as an example.

Hello Friends! Sometimes during the work with Samsung drives we may need an access to Service Area to check if all modules are good, and make a backup, for Full Hot-Swap, for example. One of ways of Service Area reaching is a Simple Hot-Swap. We briefly describe the procedure in this article.
