Hi all, im new here.

I am thinking of buying a hardware tool for repair HDD, i have actually a rusolut mainly for SD Cards. I read about acelaboratory PC3K UDMA and DE.

What u think about it? Should I chose maybe other model of PC3K? I have a table for swap pointers of HDD. Maybe cheaper machine? Mainly for repair HDD and recover data of S.M.A.R.T. failures..

Thanks in advance!

PC-3000 is definitely the gold standard for a data recovery tool. Nothing even comes close in that regard. As to which version to buy that really just comes down to the number of channels you need. The Express card has 4 channels while the current UDMAe has only two. Just beware of buying anything used such as an old green original UDMA board as you won't be able to get updates for it and may not even be able to activate it. The licensing is totally non-transferrable.

Plain and simple...

1. If you want to recover simple stuff buy a Deepspar.
2. If you want to recover almost everything buy Acelabs.
3. If you want to be frustrated for many years buy something from China/India.
