Data recovery and disk repair questions and discussions related to old-fashioned SATA, SAS, SCSI, IDE, MFM hard drives - any type of storage device that has moving parts

Atola insight is no longer beta, it is released as of November 1st 2008.
It works well, I use only the insight for recoveries, and it gets the job done well.
The file recovery engine isn't the best, but that is because it isn't high priority, there are many softwares that are already very useful for logical recovery anyways.
Automatic diagnostics works very well, it is not perfect, but very accurate.
Firmware repair works well, and the list of supported drives is starting to increase much more.
imaging works great (the only negative is of course, the usb interface) and the media map works well.
the built in current monitor is handy
media scan is useful as well
there are a couple of features that pc3000 has that atola has yet to implement, but my understanding is that they are on the roadmap, and will be implemented in the coming months.
long story short, it is no longer in beta, but is still young, but it works very well now, and it is only going to get better.

There will be a freeware version of Atola Insight released (i think in February or March 2008). It will do some diagnostic stuff and will include all disk utilities. It should completely replace the old good MHDD by the end of 2008.
Is that statement still valid or is it basically void as most of Atola Insight is done in hardware now (I think I read that somewhere in the forum)?

I'm curios about it also.
