PC-3000 EXPRESS for Sale – Excellent Condition | €4,500 | Worldwide Shipping

I am selling a PC-3000 EXPRESS by ACE Lab in excellent working and cosmetic condition. The unit had moderate use for two years, then only occasional use for another two years, and has since been stored in its original box with all original accessories, plus several unused cables kept in proper anti-static packaging.
This board can be activated with HDD, SSD and RAID support, depending on the Technical Support package selected by the new owner. These activation options are handled directly with ACE Lab at the time of registration.

Price & Value
The price for this unit is €4,500.
A new PC-3000 Express, according to the 2025 ACE Lab price list, costs €8,000 (when on promotional pricing).
Technical Support (required to activate the hardware) generally ranges from €1,700 to €2,000 if the buyer does not currently hold any TS contracts with ACE Lab. If the buyer already has an active TS contract for other ACE Lab tools, the cost may be lower, it depends entirely on ACE Lab’s internal policy regarding adding additional hardware under an existing support plan. This is something only they can clarify directly.

Even assuming the highest technical support price, the total cost of this unit + TS still represents a minimum savings of approximately €1,500 compared to purchasing a new system, while receiving the equipment in excellent condition.

Specifications & Features
• Original PC-3000 Express board from ACE Lab
• 4 SATA ports for simultaneous, high-speed imaging
• 2 IDE/PATA ports
• Fully compatible with all modern HDD models, including SMR
• Includes USB Terminal 3 kit for full support of the latest HDD families
• Capable of HDD, SSD and RAID data recovery once activated with the appropriate TS package

Condition
Fully functional, no repairs, no defects, carefully stored and maintained.

Shipping
Worldwide shipping via DHL or FedEx, insured (flat rate €200). Preference for European buyers for simplicity.

Transparency
I own a data recovery company and have been in this field for many years. Many professionals in the international DR community know me personally, so buyers can be fully confident in the authenticity and legitimacy of the equipment and transaction.

Important Notes
All communication is handled by email
After purchase, the new owner must register the product with ACE Lab and obtain Technical Support directly from them to activate the hardware and receive updates. ACE Lab has already approved the sale.

I thought ACE only allowed you to sell within your own country (or maybe EU)?
I could be wrong, but might be worth checking.

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the question, it’s a good point.

I checked with ACE after your message, and they confirmed that resale is not allowed only in countries where they have exclusive distributors: Iran, South Korea, India and China. Buyers from those countries should please disregard the listing.

For all other regions, there are just standard checks that I will handle directly with any potential buyer. The sale is approved by ACE and the unit remains available.

Thanks again for raising it.
