A new diagnostic tool for failed/failing SATA Seagate drives. It graphically presents the status of every head, also bad/reallocated sectors per head.
Read speed per head test, seek time test, recording and viewing Seagate terminal boot messages, viewing drive info-temperature.

Extra added firmware features can solve or help solve common Seagate issues:
Clear SMART buffers, stop background reallocation and other processes, correct 7200.11 busy bug, correct zero capacity problem, regenerate translator, clear G-list, clear S-list, move G-list to P-list, test specific sector accessibility, zero-fill specific sector, set congen buffers to default values.

(Warning: Firmware features are intended for use by experienced users in data recovery, or experimentation on drives with no important data. Improper use can easily lead to permanent drive damage and data loss)

Not really. There is no such claim. But it can be a powerful tool for those with no full firmware tools to diagnose and deside for further action (ex image, or outsource) and can solve many common firmware issues if properly used (and warnings respected).

>DfS can help you recover up to 80% of Seagate HDD data recovery cases (with the aditional usage of data recovery software).

I looked again and your claims are the same today as they were yesterday and the day before yesterday.

I read it very carefully ... one ... word ... at ... a ... time. I even looked up the dictionary.

Perhaps something got lost in the translation from Greek to English, but you appear to be saying that your magic tool kit will recover the data from 8 out of 10 Seagate drives. That's an outrageous claim, even when your kit is used in conjunction with data recovery software.

Hehe :)

Where is the option to backup the drives firmware or use loaders?

This is a Diagnostic tool with added firmware functions, not vice-versa, and should be treated accordingly. In practice, many common real world Seagate firmware issues can be solved with proper use of these functions by a knowledgeable user and make data access possible. No, it's not a full firmware tool, as mentioned earlier, so don't hurry to throw away your pc3k or mrt (...). On the other hand those tools add a couple of zeros in the price tag compared to DFS.
