I find the Bandura ideal for cloning SSD disks which are readable. E.g lack of imaging by head functionality is not a problem.
Recently I have seen a couple of SSD disks which got stuck after read errors. Not all read errors, just at certain LBAs. A power reset was needed to see the disks ready again. The Bandura imaged these SSDs very nicely. Seen below is a Bandura chewing through a number of read errors. When done with this particular disk I was missing roughly 1k sectors. But for once I was lucky, all important files were intact

The Bandura's maximum number of power resets per session is 100. Which is easily exceeded using it this way. However, this is no show stopper. You can resume the job, then with 100 more power resets.
