Warning: Forcing a firmware intended for the 0xBA revision (such as the TC58NC6621 firmware) onto an SSS6698-BB ( 0xBB ) chip will permanently brick the controller's ROM layer, making it completely unrecoverable via software.
The "BA" variant is often detected as TC58NC6623/SSS6698-BA and is considered a close relative of the "BB". It appears in similar drives and suffers from the same lack of support.
The is a USB 3.0 NAND flash memory controller developed by Solid State Systems Co., Ltd. (commonly abbreviated as SSS or 3S), a Taiwanese company known for producing cost-effective and widely used USB flash drive controllers. This chip is part of the 669x family, succeeding earlier models like the SSS6697 and SSS6695, and is designed to support modern TLC (Triple-Level Cell) and 3D NAND flash memories with higher capacities and improved performance over USB 3.0 interfaces.

Fix firmware-level corruption that standard formatting tools cannot reach. Technical Specifications and Compatibility
Before opening the tool, you need to configure the settings to match your specific hardware. Open the extracted MPTool folder. Warning: Forcing a firmware intended for the 0xBA
A low-power embedded processor executes the firmware. In the case of the SSS6698-BB, the firmware is often stored in the NAND flash itself, or in a small internal ROM, allowing the drive to be recognized by the PC.
The SSS6698-BB is typically housed in a 48-pin LQFP (Low-profile Quad Flat Package) or similar surface-mount packages, making it suitable for the compact form factors of modern USB drives. The is a USB 3
The is a highly integrated USB 2.0 Flash Drive Controller IC (Integrated Circuit) manufactured by Solid State System Co., Ltd. (SSS) . In the landscape of consumer electronics, this chip serves as the "brain" of many USB flash drives, SD cards, and card readers. It acts as the bridge between the NAND Flash memory (where data is stored) and the host computer via the USB interface.
