Think many of you is wondering what is happening with SD.

1. No answers from them about future.
2. No new updates.
3. No info at all.
4. No answers.
4. I think many of you regret that you bought SD tools. I new that free updates wouldnt stay alive for a long time. Like now. Nothing is happening. In this world free updates doesnt work.

Therefore i want to ask other people here if they heard about this new sight.

Dolphin Data Lab
http://www.datarecoverytools4u.com

It seems that people from Salvation (the good engineers/developers) left the building and started up something on there own or went to Dolphin.

I dont now what to say about Dolphin. But seems to be a gold digger as well:

SELL AS HELL WITH FREE UPDATES UNTIL IT GOES DOWN. This is what it looks like..

Correct me if im wrong!?!?

For me there is only ONE tool thats going to last and you now which it is.

Cheers m8:s

My view is that a new provider of DR tools always is welcome. If not for anything else they create competition, and force other vendors to stay sharp.

It seems Dolphin is planning to keep prices low, and also addressing issues owners of SD tools are hugely unhappy about: lack functionality and low (or rather non existing) frequency of updates. As a market strategy that makes perfect sense to me.

Dolphin surely talks the talk, time will tell if they also can walk the walk. Looking forward to reviews from people who have tested these tools.

By the way, do you know for sure the people behind Dolphin are ex-SD techies? Or was that an assumption?

hello there,

From my experience of using the dfl-wdii, I don't see any same points or connection hints between salvation data tool and dolphin tools. let me share some images and you can see:

I am actually using dfl-wdii most because it does have many more options to repair the wd drives. what I can say about it? hmm, it's for experienced users and if you're new to this field, it is not easy to use it well.

their support is good and fast in their two forums and email reply and until now, they do offer frequent upgrades to the wd tool.

one thing i am not satisfied with them is about their basic manual, not telling in good details how to use their tools like pc3k does. that's why I said this tool is very good for experienced users. they promised to release revised manual in near future.

they gave some videos on their website: http://www.datarecoverytools4u.com/reso ... tutorials/
from above link, I think you can learn more about this tool.

I doubt SD would ever make a WD DR that looked that nice even if it was on version 50. It's ironic that the DFL-WD is cheaper.

Hi, this is Yi from SalvationDATA.

First of all, we do appreciate all your feedback, it doesn't matter was positive or not. As what Eleg said, it's an open market, competition only makes the survivers sharper in order to stay alive.

To simply clear the doubts of easycut, the easy facts of just recently are listed below:

1. [2012-05-15] Flash Doctor is Upgraded to Version 6.0
2. [2012-07-18] Newly released version 7.0 HD Doctor for WD
3. New version of HD Doctor for ST is coming out next month
4. Data Compass is about to updated to USB3.0 very soon
5. Technical support and software updating have been and always will be FREE for LIFETIME
6. Our tech team and service team have expanded to ensure our clients have instant response and technical support as we promised (please be tolerant with the timezone difference, each one of us has a family to rush for after work)
7. To develop a new technology or new product it's based on team work, and always needed to keep up with the market and new tech trend. If only one person could wrap the essence away guess there's no need for us to set up a R&D team as well as millions of other R&D centers existing in other companies world wide.


Clients have got sharp eyes, and free to choose the tools which could satisfy their specific requirements. And we always welcome competition under sunshine, but Forum Marketing on backbiting doesn't seem fair or bright, it's clear to see what's behind with your wise mind.

Noble character is required to get respect from other people in life, it works the same in doing business.

Everybody knows that PC3K is the best tool out there, its expensive and it also cost to upgrade the tool to latest verison. But you get the best and if your good in DR and have experience along with GOOD manuals that you get with PC3K with solutions and explanations then your home.

The money you put on PC3K you will get back easy if you can do the magic. Same for Salvation tools, you will also get your money back if you manage to use the tool.

Salvations tool is also good, but not as good as Ace. Why you asking? You get better manuals and solutions and explanations is much better then Salvations manuals!

One thing that Salvation is good at what i had succes with is there free remote support, free upgrades and so on.. But i want to see more solutions and not keeping them like a secret on how to do this and that.

If i sell some hardware - Whatever. Could be a surround recevier - Do you think my product will sell good if the product have a manual that doesnt explain in to deepth how to use it and its functions and if more new solutions will come then a manual for that will be released with this and that and how to use it and explain fuctions so people understand!

Salvation is doing there job as hard they can, i know that, it is not easy to keep up and make customers satisfied.

I like Salvation and i like Ace.. I like all that helps us dre to do our job better and more succesful! It is not easy.

So cheap is not allways the best solution - It depends how much time you want to spend...
