Few thoughts about PC3000 Flash and SD Flash

[notme]

I would like to share few thought about this product, it may be useful to other who are thinking of getting it:

PC3000 Flash is a well built unit, no doubt, however there are a few disappointing points about this unit:

1. Lack of updates, it seems the developer only 1 or 2 guys. I don't think ACE will be able to catch up with the current flash updates if they have this stupid mindset.

2. Lack of supports, only 1 person dealing with flash issues, this is completely out of their mind.

3. Must pay for software updates, where do this come from? every year we must pay for 700 euro for software updates and technical support?

The question is, do you need this flash recovery? The answer is YES if you have a high volume of flash drives per week, else forget it.

I do not have SD Flash, but few things which are very appealing to me about SD Flash:

1. FREE UPDATES for life.

2. Supports are much better, i think SD Flash is catching up considering all flash controller manufacturers are based in China, and as you all know, info about new controller is easy acquired by SD (by hook or crook ). Whereas PC3000 flash will take longer time to decode a new controller, not to mention a single player developer.

I think SD or Softcenter will outsell PC3000 flash in near future.

If anyone is using SD flash, feel free to contribute your thoughts.

I agree with notme on these points:
- need more developers
- free software updates , pay technical support is ok

so far according to my test, sd flash has some kind of 35%-50% of success rate, not bad. I have 5 USB drives to be recovered and 2 has good results with all data back, one 512mb and the other 16gb.

To clarify, SD support has a trend of being pretty good right when they first release a product and then getting steadily worse as they move their focus to whatever the "new" product is.

Sorry to say, but 30-50% success rate is far from the expected...
