We're happy to announce that we can now support Maxio SSDs (both 0902 and 1102).

The solution does not work for cases where the drive is in panic and switches to safe mode.
It works well for cases, for example, where drive stays BSY.

It is still under development, but we have a 70% success rate so far, pretty good.

Good job!

Nice try, but pc3k utility has absolutely no use (at least not until the latest update, the upcoming update seems to work for SOME versions of 0902) and certainly not for 1102.

Yeah, ACE is working on it, but the support is such that I may have only had one case that was actually supported thus far.

N28A + 0902 is there support?

Yes, but under certain conditions. It's not a universal solution.

Hello ,

I would like to ask whether anyone here has seen any recovery progress for Maxio MAP1202A NVMe SSDs, especially in cases where TRIM has already fully taken effect.

My case:
- SSD: ZhiTai TiPlus5000 1TB
- Interface: NVMe M.2
- Controller: Maxio MAP1202A
- Failure type: accidental file deletion only, no physical damage
- Current state: the drive is still detected normally and is not hardware-failed
- Important detail: TRIM was fully applied, and now all user LBAs read back as zero

So this is not a typical logical recovery case anymore. Regular software recovery is obviously useless at this point. From what I understand, the only possible chance would be vendor-specific / controller-level work, such as entering technical mode and restoring older translator/mapping data, if that is even supported for this controller family.

What I want to know is:
1. Has anyone here seen successful recovery research or practical progress for MAP1202A in this exact “deleted + TRIM fully applied + LBAs = 0” scenario?
2. Is ACE Lab / PC-3000 SSD known to be actively working on MAP1202A NVMe support, or is there still no real development status publicly known?
3. Has any lab already submitted sample drives to ACE or other developers for this controller?
4. Even a rough status would help: not started / under research / engineering samples received / technical mode partially working / translator recovery being tested

I am not asking for consumer software suggestions, because TRIM has already fully taken effect and the data area now reads as zeros. I am specifically trying to understand whether there is any real engineering progress or expected roadmap for this Maxio NVMe controller family.

Any firsthand information from labs, engineers, or people who have seen internal testing would be very appreciated.

Thank you.

I'm not sure how 1202 works because we don't have on-hands experience with this particular model, but we're working on manipulating the translator and access previous versions on 0902 and 1102. This means, that under certain conditions we've recovered deleted files from drives with these controllers.

As I've said, 1202 is currently unknown to me.

Hello,

I have a problem with CFast cards based on **Maxio MAS0902 / MK8215** controller.

**Card information:**
- Marking: MK8215.QEIJCAAL
- NAND: Toshiba TC58TFG8W23TAID (3D TLC)
- Capacity: 10 GB (9548 MB)
- Firmware: SFMB8110
- Build date: Dec 17 2021, MK8215 v5.1 Rev 31 SVN1401

I have one **working** card of the same type and several dead ones.
My MP Tool (MXMPSORT / MAS0902) works in RDT/SORT mode, but I need the exact **project .bin** file (QEIJCAAL configuration) to perform MP on the bad cards.

I tried multiple tool versions from usbdev.ru and entered ROM mode (I know the pins), but I cannot perform Read / Backup / Dump Project.

If anyone has PC-3000 SSD or a proper tool and can dump the project bin from the working card — please contact me. I am ready to send the card (I will pay for the service + shipping).

Photo of the board attached.

Thank you in advance!
