Post subject: | Bandura SSD support? |
Hello, I am curious about how the Bandura performs with data recovery from an SSD. I did a forum search and couldn't find much on this topic. Is it only a suitable solution to traditional HDDs? Thanks! |

Just tried to image a 250GB Samsung 840 to a second one of this type of SSD: Averange transfer speed: 216mb/s Imaging time for whole 250GB: less than 18min Why shouldnt it work - its like a standard SATA hdd for the tool. +++ |

Just wondering how it performs with damaged SSDs as it seems it can handle a standard HDD that is damaged pretty well. |

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.

Great info Eleg, thank you for sharing the data. I am taking a long hard look at the Bandura as my first major piece of hardware, so I really appreciate any and all info related to it. It sounds like you are pretty happy with the unit... do you have any of the others such as the insight? It looks great, but the Bandura is more in my league price-wise. |

I have the insight and this is a great tool. I find out that cloning with this is very good and the speeds are nice. You can clone any drive with this unit. The ethernet Inisight which I have is very fast and has good performance on the jobs I do on this tool. I like the features in this tool and if you can afford this one I would suggest that you might go with it. |
