Hello everyone

As you know most of new portable HDDs have only USB 3.0 Connector soldered on the PCb. and I been using DeepSpar with USB add-on to work on hard drive that has no SATA/PATA connector.

I want to order PC3000 UDMA, and my question is :

Do I have to buy PC3000 Flash SSD Edition in order to work on these HDDs or UDMA will handle it ????

PC3000 Flash SSD Edition is for flash based devices. HDDs have data stored on disk.
How to recover from USB3 based devices? Well, through USB3 port or if have issues, then have to modify the PCB according to your needs.

Use the search function - lots of info on this topic

Depends from drive to drive.

Using PC-3000 UDMA or China HDD Union tools, etc ... with drives that are USB only will require that you replace the PCB of the drive with a compatible pcb that have a SATA interface and copy the ROM code from the USB only drive to the non-usb PCB, assuming that there is no extra encryption to deal with at PCB level.

Alternatively it's to wire the pcb with temporary wires to a SATA port to bypass the USB bridge chip on the PCB, making the native USB pcb a SATA pcb by bypassing the USB chip.
