What are the cost of Salvation products?

Frustration, headache, ineffectiveness, occasionally damage that is difficult or impossible to repair

[phishin_ca]

Your sanity!

"Frustration, headache, ineffectiveness, occasionally damage that is difficult or impossible to repair"

And it costs money also .

True, though in my opinion that is the least of the costs

These products are garbage. Not worth the frustration. Horrible documentation, constant lock-ups, poor tech support.

Look elsewhere. If you buy them, you will be sorry.

"Helping you in doing what the else can't do" -- that sums up the product pretty damn well.

That's an incomplete commercial video of Salavation products..
What use can it be?

They ban you if you post too many suggestions or problems on their forum. At this time the SD products and its car salesman employees are total crap in my opinion. You'd be a fool to buy tools from them!

TheSlider, I forgot about that. Do a search for DellGuy's post on SD products. You won't need to read any more.

The Salvation HDD Doctor kit is $2000 last time I knew.

IMHO a little too much for a terminal connection with power on/off control, which is pretty much all I use mine for now.

The prices have just gone up according to an email we had from SD... Just waiting on confirmation of costs.

[TheSlider]

Why are the prices so high?!

Is it made from gold or somthing??

Is it possible to make the tools on your own?
I mean, how difficult it may be?

[beto]

Its possible but u need : deep programming skill´s C++ , Visual, Assembly, etc , on deep knowledgment of ATA protocol + good skills about how to access Engineering Tracks + know how hdd´s engineering works

Regards

[TheSlider]

Isn't a way to take some ready parts and to connect them in some way in order to build the wanted tools?!

[CraigL]

If only it was that easy!

[phishin_ca]

Slider, you can definitely put parts together to get your solution. you will need;
1. ATA spec.
2. physical miniport driver
3. COM wrapper (for .net applications)
4. Brain
5. Google

Here is the email address you can contact direct and ask for your pricing on this one.

They also have a forum search for it and you can find this one. Also search on their BLOG and find this. Read up on what you would like from them.

Tools are expensive and it cost alot of money to get into DR. Not only money but then after to buy drives to work with and to use for donor drives. To build up your FW libary for your work. Also to get the necessary program to help you out. You have to be willing to invest a lot of time, money, and searching for answers on this one.
