expensive because it is not a full fledged solution , its meant for firmware recovery .Due to its serious limitations , it is expensive. You can get entire salvation stuff with 2 year support & updates only for US$2000 , isn't it expensive as compare to SD? considering one need to pay 500$ for next year for support and despite this will not be able to fix drives over 1TB

But the "entire SD stuff" (HD Doctors) doesnt include disk cloning att all....

(neither does DataCompass include UDMA disk cloning, its USB too).

Are you starting DR business? Don't start having in mind tight budget : 30/35.000 Eur is the minimum for diagnostic, instrumentation, tools and so on.

yes you are right , at this stage i cant afford all & wish to start with portable so that i can learn & start with firmware problems.

My 2 cents : it will be a start but only for LEARNING, not for use on business. But it's only my 2 cents.

Everyone has got to start somewhere I guess, and so good luck.

But practice practice practice on spare drives first. A good idea is to buy a batch of random duff drives of ebay and try and mend as many as you can.

As and when you do start work on clients drives, don't be afraid to outsource if you in ANY DOUBT whatsover as to how to fix the drive.
