We got out Atola Insight suite in the beginning of 2009.
So far we have analyzed about 500 drives in it.
Atola insight have not in any case been able to repair damaged firmware. We have used it mainly for the imaging function (which is great) and for the terminal connectivity for Seagate drives. Atola constantly reports that "more manual checking has to be done" when running the "automatic checkup". Even though i know that there is a fw error (caused by me via salvationdata tools for experimental reasons)
Are anyone else experiencing the same issues (atola not repairing firmware).
I was thinking, maybe it is because we are in Europe and there are differences of drives sold here and in US?
And oh, the serial connector broke off after the 20 or so first drives. So we had to build our own
So my conclusion is; if you need a good imager and dont require any fw repairs it is a great tool. Of course it could be my lack of competence that is the biggest problem. But you have to remember that it is marketed and sold as a "automatic" and easy firmware repair tool.
