(SSK USB 3.0). I did it offline and it took about 30 minutes to clone. I installed the new drive and everything is perfect just like before. Thanks to everyone who posted the instructions, it was very easy since I was installing a Mr12volt and had the system out already.
I also imaged the original drive to backup on my server as well.

So I purchased a SATA drive to replace the factory HDD and the connectors are different. Is there an adapter I need to buy or do I need to get a different SD drive? First pic is the one I bought, second pic is the one that is in my PCM. Thanks in advance for any help.

You have an early IDE drive which makes life difficult, there is no adaptor you can use as the drives use different communication protocols. You'll need to find the correct IDE SSD or use an IDE to various card adaptors

Thank you. Would something like this work? I realize I’ll have to get the SD card as well. Since my original drive has issues, I purchased the SATA drive from a member here that was already programmed. Will I be able to just clone that SATA drive to the new mini SSD SD card?
or would something like this work?

Unfortunately that won't work, the only IDE drives that work I don't think are available anymore. I was fortunate enough to buy one of the very last true IDE SSD drives available and haven't been able to source them since.
Hi! Just send me a private message and we can get you fixed up.
hey jslo it wasn’t letting me private message you but I had recently picked up a 2014 991t and shortly after started noticing this auto restart happening. Car parked in garage for a full week and ended up even killing the battery since i didn’t have it on a trickle yet and didn’t know it was even rebooting while car was off. Removed fuse in mean time and pulled the hdd and tried cloning with a offline cloner to ssd. Process seemed too fast for me to believe it truly worked. Seems it’s only 4.6g or so of data when I connect to pc does that seem right? Also burned update to a cd and usb drive. I will try to put it back in this week and run update. If this does not work are you still willing to help or take a look at original drive? Message me if possible. Thanks.
So I had an hour this morning put in the cloned ssd/ pcm and ran the update cd. Ejected once put it back kept running in emergency update mode. Seemed to complete and said completed did come up with an error 3019 after it was complete but seems like it doesn’t restart anymore. Bluetooth working fine and hasn’t restarted yet. Have to take it on a drive later in the week to check. Maps not loading though . If anyone has a solution or any suggestions for this please let me know. Thank you.
I've now done a few of these upgrades and recoveries with success. If the hard drive is still functional, I've found I can clone the good data to a new drive, install it back in the unit, and run the PCM update to restore any missing or corrupted files. If the drive can't be read at all, it can be replaced with another cloned drive, and the update disc should help initialize the new drive to the car, but not all functions may work without taking it to Porsche to re-enable features like navigation even if the originating drive has the same options.
I have SSDs available if anyone needs a clone, pre-cloned SSDs, and update discs available.

New PCM 3.1 does not give an image, the Porsche logo turns on, the service goes out and it turns off, it does not turn on again, you have to erase the dtcs and do the same again, any idea of the problem?

Jslo died or sold his car and no longer replies to requests. Good luck, cost me $5k at the dealer for a brand new PCM this year… over a $20 hard drive. Good luck!
the PCM reboots randomly, CD doesn't work, nor the NAV. I pulled the unit to check to see if maybe the HD was inop or something (figured I could hear it spin up if it was not dead... but when I opened it up; no hard drive and no... whatever goes in the other compartment. (see photo attached). What goes in the area to the right (in the photo) of the hard drive bay? Could these missing parts (HD, etc.) be the cause of the rebooting or are these separate issues? any idea where to find a hard drive for the 911 PCM and whatever goes in the bay next to it?
