Are You Comparing UFS-Explorer To hddsuperclone ? For Cloning :shock:

Why not? UFS made a great jump with clonning bad drives, for the SAS/SCSI drives you already dont need a pc3k-DE sas version for that.

Really ,
Have you played around with HDDSuperClone ? . Do you know what it can do and do you know all the parameters and tweaks it can play around with .You Seriously need to spend time with hddsuperclone ,HDDsuperclone works direct with drives too ,Does UFS Explorer do that ,It goes via OS ,HDDSuperclone Does That and More and So Much More ,SCSI/SAS Support Is Already in HDDsuperclone ,You need to see some example -> https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXfHI8 ... QTQ/videos

Maximus " Your Interest Should Be to Enhance your tool ,show them in your thread ,why hddsuperclone is a real superclone .What will you gain by solving bugs of this tool ? . Nothing .I have tonns of drives that are solved ,you should work with me and improve this even further ,Over and out .DR Kiev : For that matter we need no tool to do anything ,When why do we all have them "Its to simplify work and make money " . The sysdev team is a set of brilliant programmers ,you are saying its a great tool with bad sectors ,So common proof it ,Lets see some videos

I dont have anything against HDDsuperClone but i have something against your knowlege about Ufs Pro . Yes it does, you can read/image drives not just simply using OS API procedure, but to chose different ways, like ATA direct or SCSI commands for SAS/SCSI drives, and other usefull features which you missed, probably, also.

Well,
Thank You for this detail ,I do not have this and i do not intend to use a demo ,I have Ver 7.14 Recovery Explorer Only To Play Around ,

Good video. Might even encourage to go back to MRT Ultra again...

I wouldn't worry about your video making skills. 5 minutes on YouTube will show you up there with Martin Scorsese compared to some IT related content...

Thanks.

Good video, Luke. Thanks for creating it.
Data Explorer isn't so great. So, coupling with other tools like UFS is helpful to find file structure.

I only really wanted to know how it compares with DMDE when it's used with HDDSuperClone rather than as a standalone product. Also, it's a bit out of my price range at $600.

Is this option supported on demo version of UFS professional or only if we buy it? I tried on demo and I can't see menu for "MRT DE Task"

This functions is fully available in trial software mode and doesn't require activation.
Software relies on storage name format to recognize MRT DE mapped storage. There was no mapping for "Express" version. You may now re-download software from our web site once again and check.

Privet Iurii,
same problem at me.
The Free Download from 8,2 has no option to go to MRT Task.
Would you be so kind to send a link where to download the MRT Version from your UFS Explorer.
Thanks a lot in advance!
kind regards
Fred

Hi Iurii

I tested and all works fine now and I have two little requests:

1.Option to modify the start/end of imaging area before starting the actual image(when working with MRT DE of course).
2.Support for 4Kn formated drives...There are many Seagate external drives which are 4Kn formated and, when conected to MRT, the Data Extractor is blind , does not see anything...If I mount the task with DE I can use R-studio or DMDE to access the partition correctly and extract data...But, as we know , these Seagate drives are DM series which allways come with failed heads or scratched surfaces, so we need an hardware imager to copy data.
In my post above you have a picture as an example of such drive...UFS also does not see the partition when the drive is 4Kn formated.

Thanks

1. In case you need to image just specific range from disk, right-click disk and select "Save disk image". Then, in "Area.." dropdown select "Custom range.."

2. Our software only tests and reads signle offset calculated as offset from MBR multiplied by sector size reported by disk. MRT DE seems always reports 512b sectors and thus offset it invalid.
We can also check both offsets (512b and 4K), but this operation is useless for 512e/512n disks and cause extra reads.
Scanning for partition is also not the recommended option for disk with defects.
Instead it is advised simply to open "manage partition" dialog and define partition manually using reported offset multiplied by 8. In case there is file system, the size will be calculated automatically from file system metadata.

When i clone directly with MRT DE i can reach 90 MB/s speed, but if i image by using UFS Explorer the speed remains below 65/ Mb/s.
MRT has "Top-speed" function, if you activate it you can reach speed of 120 Mb/s but if you image by using UFS it still stay under 65 Mb/s.

Is this a limitation of demo version or a technical limitation?

I imagine it is partly due to limitations of UFS working with MRT via a mounted task. If you are going for a straight clone of the drive, it doesn't make sense to use UFS. UFS explorer makes sense when MRT doesn't support the file system and you wish to target some or all the files and not the entire drive.
