Hi,
I need advice. I am interested in data recovery from hard drives. I would like to know whether I have to start with the most common problems just DataCompass equipment or whether it is good to have a straight and HDDoctor?
I need to have a tool (relatively easy to use and understandable) so I can selectively rescue corrupted data.
Thanks for your answers and sorry for bad English.

First of all, this is probably the wrong section of the forum for this...

It all depends on the type of recovery work you are getting, media degradation is probably one of the more common failures so I would probably lean in that direction first as Data Compass will recover data, clone, handle bad sectors etc... Learn those skills and get a feel for how drives should perform so you can identify bad drives.

I'm sure I won't be the only one to say this, DR is not something you should learn using customers drives, buy some cheap crappy drives from ebay, diagnose them, recover data (but handle responsibly).

my advice to you is get the data compass and not the hd doctor setup

as the data compass can handle corrupt firmware on hard drives
if you need to reload the firmware etc then the hd doctor will do this


you have to learn as nothing is easy in the data recovery world
