ninja kaze vs the ninja forensic which one

[rchadwick]

Ouch is right!

Odieferous has a sonix to sell. Seems to be good too.

3200? Ouch? You're having a laugh? What did you expect?

You pay for quality, and unless you are offering $99 recoveries, it'll pay for itself in 5 jobs or less.

[rchadwick]

For what it does, I'm sure it's worth it. For what it is, I'm not sure.

[CK]

I'm sure they could have put a few more flashing lights on it to make it look more expensive, but why overcomplicate it, it does what it says on the tin!

im suprise nothing has made a cheaper versions.

@CK

Ninja (Forensic) is good for unattended bad block recovery (can set parameters using menu, or via NINJA Terminal - which we also use for raw IDE commands to drives; or creating bespoke recovery "scripts" from modules built into Ninja).

Also use PC3K, Logicube Talon, Tableau devices etc etc plus Access FTK, Paraben, XWays Forensic/Winhex etc etc - depends on the job in hand!

I thought we had already covered this Sceggy?? We use all the other SW & HW you mentioned for forensic purposes, but they are irrelevant to this topic. For Forensic DR, we hook a Fastbloc IDE to the DS and it works perfectly.

I'm sure the Ninja is good, but we haven't had a real comparison between DS and Ninja, so until such time that somebody steps up to the plate with both units, we're wasting our time. We could be waiting a while because anybody who has DS units is unlikely to stray to another vendor, I certainly won't be.

$3,200 is expensive, but for a pro it's worth it.

I reckon mine paid for itself within two months, with saved time and better quality images.

In fact I might buy another, or maybe a Ninja on Duncans recommendation, he knows what he's talking about

[wiseleo]

I find it amusing that the cost of a second workstation is even a factor in this discussion.

An integrated board with video/sata/ide + low end CPU + a stick of RAM is less than $150. When you are buying a $3000 tool, who cares about that?

Buy a ninja and tell us exactly how much worse it is! Would be nice to get some proper reviews going on the popular DR tools.

I don't understand. What's so bad about the Ninja? Isn't it a lot easier to use?

You sure you and duncan dont work for the same DR company?

thinking about one of these ninjas for myself, but not sure how much more beneficial it will be, we already have multiple Dat Extractors and a deepspar machine. And lots of mixed feelings toward them here dont help!

Nope, Duncan and I have our own companys and hundreds of miles apart!

[HardDiskBug]

I think it's the word "Colleagues" which created dilemma..

I guess were all colleagues here

[HardDiskBug]

Then I too must be working with Clarke and/or in Retrodata.
