Post subject:  [Help] Marvell 88SS1074 SSD locked — RAID 0 issue

Hey all,
I’m dealing with a RAID 0 setup using two SSDs:

SSD 1 is completely locked due to firmware (Marvell 88SS1074, BSW2).

SSD 2 is detected just fine, but as expected, I can’t rebuild the array without both drives working.

I’ve reached out to PC-3000 support regarding a locked SSD with a Marvell 88SS1074 (BSW2) controller. Their response was:

“Every single manufacturer who is dealing with Marvell controller is writing its own firmware for each new model of SSD.”

So, essentially, even though the controller is Marvell-based, the firmware implementation is vendor-specific and varies across models — making it extremely difficult to apply a universal unlock or recovery method.

At this point, I’m looking for anyone with experience handling firmware-locked Marvell SSDs, particularly with this controller version.

Anyone here know how to unlock or bypass firmware locks on Marvell-based SSDs?
Any tool, experience, or workaround would be super helpful. I’m using PC-3000 Portable.

Thanks in advance!
