Good morning. I have an Intel Optane SSD (32GB Optane and 512GB NAND). When I hook it up on UFS Explorer or R-Studio I don't see an Intel Cache Partition. I saw a video online which showed the same issues and got it to work on a PC3000 Portable Pro. I don't have a Portable Pro and I don't get enough of these to justify the purchase. Is there any other solution out there?
Thanks.

Sounds like your bios settings need changing to turn off raid or rst.

About PC-3000 Portable PRO
I rewrite here the reply to the previous post:
The price is too much compared to what it adds as functionality
We have told ACELab to change the model for the proposal:
- Pay a basic price, e.g. 4000 euro + the support with full functionality for HDDs
- For SSDs, a temporary activation from remote during the support session. If the case is supported and solved, then a reasonable amount to be determined is paid. When the sum of these fees reaches a certain amount, a license is received that unlocks everything.
------
But since they know that the data recovery toy is about to break...
...they don't do it and they quote an unrealistic figure.
They continue with a development model that worked well for HDDs but is totally and absurdly inadequate for SSDs.
They do reverse engineering one by one and this, given the numbers, MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE.
We have told them in every possible way and manner: "they must make agreements with SSD manufacturers" and have support for SSDs of various models while these are entering the market.
Then the support would be paid gladly, because quarter after quarter there would be continuous additions of new models.
For a Rosewood that has been lasting for 10 years, I can wait even 1 year or even 2 to have it supported by PC3K: because then I will receive hundreds of them.
But ... look at your shelves: how many pieces do you have for a certain SSD model?
And how long after they were produced did they arrive to you?
Do you understand why they must send a business developer and try to find agreements with SSDs manufacturers?
Meditate on this, people, meditate.
And of you understand, write an email to Acelab, pressing for them to at least make an attempt
because if they succeed with some , the others will follow
with a nice sticker on the SSD box
"Acelab Approved"

It's the cache that fails most of the time on these. Occassionally PRO can help. Or if you have a mobo that supports bifurcation you might be able to see the cache and image it. But most are firmware issues.

Yes there is.
I built an adapter for a few bucks.
The cache is on the second channel.
The adapter routes the second channel to the first.
If not failed you can read it and blend it with us pro.....

don't mean to hijack your thread but I'm also interested since I have a few unresolved Optane drives

I made an adapter
Blizzard Dr has a blog article that explains it
Basically the m2 connector has channels.
The octane has 476gb of SSD on channel 1
And 28gb on channel 2
So the adapter reroutes to channel 2 to channel 1 .
It's 4 wires and grounds
It's delicate
I broke my first attempt.
This let's you talk to the second channel.
But often this area of the ssd is dead.

There is a much easier solution but that require a RST compatible motherboard like the “gigabyte gab150 d3h” boards.
Then you bootup with a UFS Explorer Linux boot disk and it will display it as Intel Cache Partition, you clone both the storage partitions and reboot into your Windows with UFS Pro installed and rebuilt the RAID disk for file access.
I just did it after try and tested a few laptops and desktops and found this model to work.

As I understand it, you need a motherboard and BIOS that supports PCIe bifurcation.
