The SSS6697-B7 is a USB 2.0 mass storage controller chip from Solid State Storage (SSS), often found in budget USB flash drives (e.g., some Kingston DataTraveler, PNY, and generic drives). It’s a single-chip solution for TLC/MLC NAND flash.

The SSS6697-B7 is a single-chip solution that manages the communication between a NAND flash memory chip and a host computer via the USB interface. Unlike higher-end controllers that support USB 3.0 or advanced flash translation layers (FTL), the "B7" revision of the SSS6697 family is strictly a USB 2.0 High-Speed (480 Mbps) controller. Its primary function is to execute the USB Mass Storage Class (MSC) protocol, allowing the operating system to interact with the raw NAND memory as if it were a standard block device (e.g., a hard drive). The SSS6697-B7 is a USB 2
Technically, the chip is identifiable through its unique USB Vendor ID (VID) and Product ID (PID) . Typically, devices using this controller report a VID of 0C76 and a PID of 0005 (or similar variants). This identification is critical because it directly informs the user’s software environment—especially low-level formatting and repair tools—about the controller’s command set. Without correct identification, a host computer cannot issue the proprietary "vendor commands" required to manipulate low-level flash parameters. If you have found the correct software version
