I own a data recovery company in Nebraska and I have novice knowledge of the technical side of data recovery. I can swap heads, follow scripted commands to work with firmware, etc...

I lost my senior data recovery technician recently and I have stepped in to learn the basics and get a new engineer started before we send him off for more advanced training.

We currently have a ddi4 which is amazing. We also have a wide assortment of Salvation Data products which I am currently frustrated with. I know the PC3000 is highly recommended but I also noticed that the marketing materials for the Atola Insight make it sound like a fire and forget firmware fixing machine.

I am curious to know what you guys think of the Atila Insight vs the PC3000. Having a great shell to automate come of the firmware commands would be extremely helpful for me in the short run, but I don't want to hobble us with an expensive automated solution if it will imit what we can do later with more training.

Any thoughts?

Automatic firmware recovery in Atola Insight only supports a limited set of drives. From http://atola.com/products/insight/supported-drives.html :


We have stopped focusing on firmware issues when they became a rarity.

By no means I want to stop you from buying Atola Insight, however, if your focus is strictly firmware then PC-3000 will be a better choice for now.
