its amazing how this company keeps bring out great new products
now they come out with something that we all need in the data recovery world
Data Compass adopts UDMA100 transmit protocol to reduces the time it takes to image a disk with bad sectors, at least 30% faster then any other imaging tools available elsewhere.
DATA COMPASS
(The disk data extracting device built to extract data from failed hard drives .)
According to our pioneer 3+1 Data Recovery process, the stage following the drive restoration will be file recovery using Data Compass.
After bringing the drive back to life, as a data recovery professional, you know now you need to recover the file system which may be damaged using file system recovery software; and maybe you know also you need to do a disk imaging in order to work from an accurate, stable hard drive image.
Unfortunately, traditional disk imaging tools and methods are designed for and work on good HDDs only, not the patient HDDs that are unstable or inaccessible because of media defects and instable head, which are common challenges of Stage 2 in practice. Even more, with those traditional imaging tools, the time involved and the ordinary user-level repeated-read access to the media bring a risk of damaging the disk and head, making data lost irretrievable.
But now there's a better way: The disk probing device included in the Data Compass suite bypassing the disk-level problems such as multiple bad sectors, damaged surfaces, malfunctioning head assembly, or corrupted servo info, while in the meantime you can use the default software provided or define any other software you have been familiar with (R-studio, Winhex, any) to perform file recovery. Through the Data Compass, problem drives will become intact hard drives and ready for file recovery attempts..
