Hi,

What is your opinion on this item.

http://www.salvationdata.com/view/produ ... p?pn=00012


I was under the impression that only the pc3k re wrote firmware.

Salvation data makes good things and they are also easy to use but very expensive and not much powerfull than Acelab products

I would suggest pc3k pci as a alrounder . as far as Salvatio data is concerned they sell different products for different HDD and Acelab products are all in one .

I would much rather use PC3K PCI, and also salvation data works the same way as if you load a loader to a damaged disk, which offers no repair and will only work when common firmware modules are damaged such as GLIST but not when the disk has other damage.

Also disk will still be very unstable, maybe it will have hundreds of BAD sectors which will cause problems when recovering. (even to clone the disk will take a long time).

All in all rameez is right, pc3k is much better for the job,

Best programs are one you can write yourself.
pc3k still best "commercial" program but some experts write
that this program, for them at least, is like walking on crutches

If the ones written by specialists are still no good, how could the one we write ourselves be any better?

Hi,

cause U know what U need U can code it exactly the way U need it.
And if anything comes up later, U can add functions to handle the new things.
I do write many things for myself.
