Has anybody paid to do their training course? If so - did they deliver after you paid? They only accept money wire transfer i have heard.

Hi There to everyone,

I haven't posted or been here in a while, I thought my post had dropped off ther face of the internet and didn't wish to return in case I too am seen as a spammer.

Number of issues here, I actually agree Western Union is not the best idea, but given the fact that life is so difficult for any company from India to trade internationally it is the quickest option.

There are 2 other methods of payment currently accepted for the products being
a) Bank Transfer to HDRC Account in India
b) Bank Transfer to Droid.IT USA account. (Why the US if I'm in the UK you may wonder, due to Migration is the answer).

Bank transfers are much slower and as a result delay shipments until money has cleared.

HDRC are not spammers and when I brought it to the attention of Gaurav he was quite unimpressed that his staff had spammed the forum. I need to keep a closer eye on the forum as it shouldnt happen anymore.

I was accused of being paid for my posts or whatever, well my posts were genuine I was sharing my experience. Anything else I post would be different. Within a few days of posting on the forum here I did go enter partnership with HDRC.

As for emails I have replied to Craig and I will reply to any others too, please address them to eddie.lewis@hdrconline.com or eddie.lewis@droid.it Due to travel and power problems I cannot always answer email immediately. Responses are given as quick as I can which sometimes takes a few days.

The goods are delivered by DHL for example a set of head tools we sent to the UK on monday arrived in the UK on tuesday.

I can no longer comment on the quality of goods as I will be banned for spamming but I thought it best to clear up the questions you have here. I won't answer any new emails until monday during office hours.

The website hdrconline.com is teh url you speak of and you can see my contact information on the contact page. If you need to contact me by phone please wait until after the 19th July or call at the HDRC office.

I hope I have cleared up some issues here and now I will enjoy the rest of my day off.

On a personal note please don't be so harsh with Laura you have to remember english is not the first language for her or many other users here.

My final note :p
Before purchasing any platter exchanger please see the website at HDRC for product information and the FAQ page. Whilst it works with 90% of hard drives, we have provided what information we can to help users know what the product will and will not work with.

Best regards
From Eddie Lewis - HDRC / DROID.IT

Hello Zed,

The course we gave to Eddie was tailored to his requirements and requests, we cannot discuss facts and figures here as we are accused of spamming. For more information please contact us directly via our website. Eddie did however come to us at New Delhi, India.

Regards Gaurav Sinha – HDRC Owner

Craig Hello,

I understand Eddie is communicating with you. We have earlier today found the root of our email problem and we are working hard to correct it and resolve it so that we can answer the queries that come via our website. We are also going to remove western union as a payment option as it is plain to see people just do not like that as a method of payment. Please accept my apologies that you received no answers from our site.

We have actually been around for a long time, our products were designed and developed for in house use. Up until now we have only been selling the products in India and now we are making them available worldwide. If you need to see more proof that we are not a one off scamming company you can research our site freely using google and the wayback machine / internet archive. There you will also see the changes to our company over the years. Please feel free to email me anytime to my personal email gauravhdrc@yahoo.com so I can ensure you receive replies to your emails. Alternatively you may cc any emails to my emails so I know of any contact you have made to our various departments.
Many Thanks Regards Gaurav Sinha – HDRC Owner

Hello Pcimage,

Craig has brought the email issue to our attention via our business partner, we have today discovered the cause of the problem it has been addressed and we are working hard to correct the problem. You should receive a response within the next few days. If you do not hear anything please send an email direct to my personal email gauravhdrc@yahoo.com and I can ensure you receive the response you are waiting for. Please accept our sincere apologies.
Regards From Gaurav Sinha – HDRC Owner

Hello TerraNova & WiseLeo,

There are comments here regarding the videos posted by my business partner on youtube prior to our business arrangement. I am not quite sure what your point is here but if you give me more information I am willing to explore any sensible suggested ideas. Are you requesting the videos be removed? I do not quite get what damage we have done here but if you say it needs to be corrected then please let me know what damage you are referring to. We need to ensure we satisfy the people’s requirements.
Regards From Gaurav Sinha – HDRC Owner

Craig hello again,
All I can really say here is that we have had enough sales from products and service to keep us in business for many years.
Regards From Gaurav Sinha – Owner HDRC

Hello Zed,

Thanks to you and all the other wonderful people here for being open and honest and providing all the negative feedback we need to continue growing and developing. We are already arranging to remove western union as a payment option, you are all correct it is not professional anymore to use them for our transactions.
Regards From Gaurav Sinha – HDRC Owner

Hello to all

I am posting here to just to clear all the myth regarding HDRC.

1 I know the owner personally and he is not Cheat or Fraud. he is very polite person.
2 I have visited There office and Lab when i was in Delhi. Its not a small office. Its really a big office with many computer and hard disk stocks. And there office is located in the IT area of Delhi (Nehru Place) That area is the India's Largest supplier for computer Hardware. Average rent of the office is Rs 95,000/- (1400 Euro or $2183. so you can easily assuem the present office Value.
3 I have also seen there Platter remoal tool. and I really liked that tool.

Altough i have never used any of there hardware tools because i have my custom made. But i have seen the demo of that product. At my visit time Gaurav also gave the demo of head removal tool which was under development at that time.

Thanks for reading
DF

Perhaps it is unfair, comparing a product I have in my hand with one that does not exist. Usually one does not advertise something until it is available. I would love to compare the two side by side, but that doesn't seem possible. What I was comparing was what little information I had, which was a crude picture. Going by the picture, Salvation is much better. It is an effective, real, usable tool. If your product looked anything like the picture, it was not going to be effective. It looked like it used a plexiglas frame with three long fingers, which would bend under use. It covers the drive completely, which is useful if you work in a bedroom, but awkward if you work in a cleanroom. That also indicates your intended market. Also, the plexiglas cover keeps the three prongs from rotating, which means it might not be compatible with all, or future spacers. It LOOKS like an idea that wasn't fully developed.

I just noticed the Youtube video, and I'm a little suspicious. Much time is spent opening the drive, but actual usage of the tool is short, and cut and edited. I'm still confused as to what principle your tool works on.

If you don't like me comparing a real product with your idea in development, you shouldn't put up for sale an idea in development. In my part of the world, we call that Vaporware. It doesn't give me a good impression of your company.

Thanks for the comments DF. My only comment is an experience of mine. I used to work for this rich, crazy guy. He somehow had a LOT of money, and built a very large building for us to work in. He bought up dying companies, and had us develop crazy ideas. He had a large room that was a dedicated showroom for all his 'ideas'. He did lots of demonstrations, and worked hard to look very impressive. It was all a front. Anytime most of us got close to having a product ready to sell, he changed his mind, and had us develop something else. He looked very impressive on paper, and fooled a lot of smart people. After I finally left, it took him a number of years before he fired everyone, and moved away. Since then, I've looked at 'demonstrations' in a whole new light. I'm also not impressed by a fancy address, or a lot of money.

I bought some of their gear recently.

They didn't respond to pre-sales e-mails and they haven't responded to any e-mails I've sent them after receiving their products.

I do have questions because the documentation is insufficient and poorly done (amateurish). Their machine work leaves a lot to be desired, as does their labeling.

If you can't provide good documentation, then you need to be able and willing to answer questions . . . .

I bought this to work on a client's Maxtor 300 GB but decided not to use it -- I didn't want to risk client data.

Right now I cannot recommend them.

Has anyone else used their platter kit with success? Comments, pro or con?

Jono

I've since seen HDRC's horrible tool. It's a friction fit, and from what I hear (and what common sense says) losing platters is common.

Maybe you should wait for Salvation's new tool:

HDRC has a scary platter tool but did work the one time I was brave enough to use it...

I have visited the webpage of HDRC and I have seen thtt threre are two courses soon. The first is from 9th March 2009 in Madrid and the last in Cyprus, in April 2009.

Is anybody going to do some of them?

* * * *

You must be joking.

Apparently, even Sri Gaurav Sinha doesn't answer e-mail either.

They fail any reasonable test of corporate competence. How will you sign up? Will they bother to send you a schedule or any course info? I doubt it.

Hi Guys,

Does the partnership still exist. hmmmmm was wondering anyway.
Do they both have the same training manual.

peace out!

Who cares? They have a crummy product that they won't stand behind; they rarely bother to answer inquiries. Why reward this behavior? Why throw good money after bad?

Take the money and go on a nice vacation. Or get training in the USA from Scott Moulton.
