3200? Ouch? You're having a laugh? What did you expect? :roll:

You pay for quality, and unless you are offering $99 recoveries, it'll pay for itself in 5 jobs or less.

For what it does, I'm sure it's worth it. For what it is, I'm not sure.

I'm sure they could have put a few more flashing lights on it to make it look more expensive, but why overcomplicate it, it does what it says on the tin!

@CK

Ninja (Forensic) is good for unattended bad block recovery (can set parameters using menu, or via NINJA Terminal - which we also use for raw IDE commands to drives; or creating bespoke recovery "scripts" from modules built into Ninja).

Also use PC3K, Logicube Talon, Tableau devices etc etc plus Access FTK, Paraben, XWays Forensic/Winhex etc etc - depends on the job in hand!

I thought we had already covered this Sceggy?? We use all the other SW & HW you mentioned for forensic purposes, but they are irrelevant to this topic. For Forensic DR, we hook a Fastbloc IDE to the DS and it works perfectly.

I'm sure the Ninja is good, but we haven't had a real comparison between DS and Ninja, so until such time that somebody steps up to the plate with both units, we're wasting our time. We could be waiting a while because anybody who has DS units is unlikely to stray to another vendor, I certainly won't be.

$3,200 is expensive, but for a pro it's worth it.

I reckon mine paid for itself within two months, with saved time and better quality images.

In fact I might buy another, or maybe a Ninja on Duncans recommendation, he knows what he's talking about :-)

I find it amusing that the cost of a second workstation is even a factor in this discussion.

An integrated board with video/sata/ide + low end CPU + a stick of RAM is less than $150. When you are buying a $3000 tool, who cares about that? :)

Buy a ninja and tell us exactly how much worse it is! Would be nice to get some proper reviews going on the popular DR tools.

I don't understand. What's so bad about the Ninja? Isn't it a lot easier to use?

You sure you and duncan dont work for the same DR company? :lol:

thinking about one of these ninjas for myself, but not sure how much more beneficial it will be, we already have multiple Dat Extractors and a deepspar machine. And lots of mixed feelings toward them here dont help! :(

I think it's the word "Colleagues" which created dilemma..
