been looking over some of the equipment available and noticed it said that the DFL uses (or can use) the PC-3000 modules..
Surely that would mean it is just a cheap clone of the PC-3000 and the latter is the better option?
Only asking as I'm comparing equipment for moving on to the next stage of recovering data. I own a small I.T. repair outlet and am sick of the 50/50 approach and know I can offer a somewhat better service if I had better equipment. I know I'd certainly achieve a much more healthier recovery rate than what is possible with my current setup.
And I've been around HDD long enough to know you don't stick them in freezers or go dropping them on carpets or opening them etc etc..I send them off to a specialist in the North of ireland and let them do that (I jk obviously)..
So cost wise it's breaking down as follows
Atola
PC-3000
Salvation Data
DeepSpar
Salvation Data is way out of my budget (Sadly ) as is possibly Atola (I might be lucky and win the lotto - who knows )
DFL? I'm unsure of - cost effective but if all they are doing is copying PC-3000 then I'd pay the extra - IF the buggers would ever answer emails! Just put your prices on the website and be done with it already ...
PC-3000 - see last comment
DeepSpar - looks to be what I'm really after to get started and get to grips with a core understanding of HDD construction and operation and then move deeper in as knowledge/confidence grows.
Ok those 4 seem to be the most used/mentioned .. I know there are some others and there's a lot of D.I.Y. kit's ye can make up.. I have one myself a TTL that I put together for rescuing Seagate 7200's via Hyper terminal (So I'm not a total novice before anyone asks and have got data back where others have given up/failed - Non mechanical obviously)...
Am I though dismissing DFL equipment out of hand?
Opinions please...

At any rate what i was trying to state is that for someone starting on DR, PC-3000 would support almost all drives in the market, and DFL would only support WD (this of course regarding firmware manipulation / fixing) .

Agree with you.
PC-3000 can support all disks, even SD also can support.
Anyway DFL works only on WD.
