If you have critical data on the drive, run the MP tool. The SSS6698-BB USBDev state sometimes still allows raw NAND access.
Often used in 8GB, 16GB, and some 32GB Kingston DataTraveler (e.g., DT101 G2) and various generic branded drives.
The memory type (TLC vs. MLC) is a significant distinction. TLC (Triple-Level Cell) flash, found in many of these drives, stores 3 bits per cell, which allows for higher capacities at lower costs. However, TLC generally has lower endurance and slower write speeds compared to MLC (Multi-Level Cell) flash, which stores 2 bits per cell and offers better performance and longevity.
According to documentation and user archives hosted on the USBDev SSS Controller Section , the SSS6698-BB (alongside sibling models like the SSS6695, SSS6696, and SSS6697) is historically .

Before downloading firmware utilities, you must extract the exact hardware configuration of the drive. Standard operating systems cannot read this configuration if the firmware is corrupted. You must run specialized analytical utilities to harvest this data.
