Troubleshooting An ADATA SU630 SSD After Power Outages: Can MPTool from usbdev.ru Provide a Solution?
Hello, fellow tech enthusiasts,
I recently encountered a frustrating situation with my ADATA SU630 930GB SSD. After experiencing several power outages, the drive stopped functioning altogether. I wanted to share my experience and seek advice on potential recovery solutions.
Here’s a summary of the issues I’m facing:
- Detection Issues: The BIOS does not recognize the SSD at all.
- Windows Disk Management: It appears as “Unknown, Not Initialized.”
- Data Recovery Software: Tools like DMDE and R-Studio can detect the drive physically, but unfortunately:
- No partitions or file system are present.
- The drive geometry has been reset to zero.
- Scanning or accessing data is impossible.
- SSD Controller: The model in question is the Maxio MAS0902A-B2C.
- Missing Information: There is no SMART data or firmware information available.
From my initial analysis, it seems quite likely that the SSD’s firmware could be corrupted due to the power outages.
In my search for potential solutions, I came across various tools available on usbdev.ru, including different versions of MPTool and firmware dumps designed for Maxio controllers. However, I have a few key concerns:
- I am unsure whether any versions of MPTool are compatible with the ADATA MAS0902A-B2C controller.
- I would like to know if it’s feasible to access factory or test mode without specialized hardware.
- Lastly, I am curious if I would need to short any pins for recovery.
Unfortunately, my options are limited, as I don’t have easy access to professional data recovery services equipped with tools like PC-3000.
I would appreciate any insights or advice from the community regarding the potential effectiveness of MPTool or any other recovery methods. Thank you for your support!

Hi,
Given the situation with your ADATA SU630 SSD and the suspected firmware corruption, attempting to use tools like MPTool can sometimes help, but compatibility and safety are key concerns. Since your SSD uses a Maxio MAS0902A-B2C controller, it’s crucial to verify whether the specific MPTool version supports this controller. Unfortunately, many tools from usbdev.ru are unofficial and might not be compatible or could risk further damage if not used correctly.
Accessing factory or test modes generally requires specialized hardware or proprietary tools, especially for controller firmware recovery. Shorting pins or attempting hardware tricks without proper knowledge can permanently damage the drive or make data recovery impossible. If professional services like PC-3000 are unavailable, consider reaching out to specialists who can perform firmware re-flashing or chip-level repairs using appropriate equipment.
For safety, I recommend making a full physical clone of the drive using a hardware write blocker or imaging device before attempting any firmware repair. This ensures you have a backup if something goes wrong. If you’re confident in your technical skills and have the right equipment, you might experiment with MPTool and firmware dumps from trusted sources, but proceed with caution.
Lastly, if data recovery is critical, consulting with professional data recovery services remains the safest route. Keep in mind that firmware re-flashing can be complex and risky without proper tools and knowledge.
Hope this helps, and
