I would like some opinion on which is the best forensic software available at the moment such as FTK, EnCase, etc?

Thanks

Depends on what goals you set.
I use x-ways forensic but allready had the need for encase too (possibility to decrypt data).

Digital Assembly is able to recover also fragmented files with carving?
Wow that's cool.

Do you know if R-studio and WinHex are able to completely recover fragmented pics in carving mode?

Adroit photo forensics is great

If you are just making images encase or FTK will be fine... even Winhex forensic edition would work.

For imaging only even FTK has a free version!
