Requesting Information about PC-3000

[clonecrp]

Greetings form the Inland Empire is Southern California, USA ...

I have been reading posts regarding Mach8er4life's Topic Requesting Information about PC-3000

digitalferret's response is quite impressive (below) but I am not certain it addresses

PC3000 is industry standard DR gear.

is this hardware easy to learn

No

will it meet our wants

Yes *seriously, what are your "wants".

If people using this could provide some useful feature lists

3 Major players if you read thro forum there is plenty of info.

Deepspar : drive imager, can cope with bad sectors and drive instability. relatively "plug in and go" with tweaks. PCI card and portable.

Atola: similar spec, standalone units connect to PC for control. Covers some firmware issues etc.
Similarly built for ease of use.

Ace laboratories: The Daddy. More expensive, not intuitive, limits to licensing some people find un-attractive.
PCI and portable. Needs experienced Tech/Eng to get the best out of it, and likely some form of training.

If you are wanting to "keep the lid on" with regards to DR then Atola / Deepspar would suffice.

Lid off and cover as many bases as possible? Acelabs. (also produce SSD/NAND gear)
"Lid off" will also require a good deal more equipment.

Feature lists?
Why not just give any of the guys a call or drop an email. They all have some form of website and literature, are more than happy to offer pre-sales advice and their standard of English is excellent.

I have examined all of the above products in depth and find that I must say that the Data Recovery business equipment expense is not for the weak at heart. An analogy... I would say without an expensive tire changing machine ... one would find changing automobile tires nearly impossible. Use the right tool for the job !

After attending two (2) different ACE Laboratory Conferences my response is simple .... The ACE PC-3000 (PC3k) Family of equipment covers all data recovery bases ... From simple PATA hard drive recovery through SCSI to RAID and FLASH to SSD's.

Ace Laboratory is a one-stop-shop ....

But there is more ... ACE Tech support is unparalleled in the industry and product software with techniques constantly updated to reflect latest technology updates and procedures.... In-depth training is also available.

I seriously believe there is NOT another organization on this planet that can or has provided the Data Recovery Industry with the quality products, training and technical support necessary to support a Data Recovery Enterprise.

The PC-3000 is the right tool .... I have been using them for years and expect to continue ...

Ok, so a lot changed on this post while i typed my response : however to the original OP.

if I could provide my newly formed knowledge, similar situation to yours perhaps, being new to this industry. It is however an opinion, please take it as such.

PC-3000 first and best.
Deep-Spa second + R-Studio
MRT-Pro third for the easier stuff that might take up time on the PC-3000 unnecessarily. Will give hassles from time to time. Some feature that doesn't work as expected or HDD (family) not quite supported (fully).
