I'm getting the impression that your just spamming and complaining on the forum so that people will click on your web link. Hitachi doctor for $77 USA dollars, real professional web programming there.

@ $77.33 a pop i'll take 10 units :lol:

If you spend about $800 to $900 you can get Hd Duplicator with the Controller interface card. It would be money well spent if the developer is willing to offer support.

I have to admit, it’s pretty entertaining to watch you make a fool of yourself. Well worth my time.

OK let us think carefully on all this. ACE has faults as I have stated and TS for them is not worth investing in. 900 euro per year to be one of their loyal customers and have access to TS and forum. If you do not pay you are banned from all.

OK here is how I see this one. I have both tools to use here for me. ACE has translations problems and so does SD. You have to consider these languages they are using one is Russian and the other is Chinese. Both companies only work in their native language and then after translate these program into English for the rest of us to use.

Agree ACE program is nice they spent a lot of time on this one they have nice drop down menus and a very nice way to save ldr to the data base. It is convient to have the DE and the UDMA together so you do not have to move the drive after repair to another machine to clone it.

Now did anyone ever consider this?

First when writing a program how hard it might be so that everyone can understand it and use it. I know that one problem with SD is the style of their program and the bad translations of the manual and how difficult it is to use it by the way they explain it. But to me no mater how well a program is written, how well it is presented on a screen there is always going to be problems. It will not be the program but the end user. I think when these companies write programs they do not take into consideration the end user and what they have to know to use the progams.

Not only this one but consider this if the program was perfect, was nicely displayed on the screen, had great drop down menus, easy to use, could all use it. Answer is no. Problem again is end user.

All of this depends on the end user and the knowledge they have in using these tools. I do not feel any tool is bad and they all have a purpose to use and what they do serves this purpose. The problem is in the hands of someone who knows this work and can do the job they are great. Give them to a new person who has never done this work before and they can be dangerous. Some of these tools in the wrong hands and no knowledge can do as much damage to the drive as a DYI person can do on this one.

DR is not an easy field to understand and get into. It is a field that requires a lot of time, skill, and knowledge. People think that transplanting a platter is as simple as changing a tire on a car. Undo the screws and move it from one place to another. Well think again. Consider how long you have been in this field and actually how many platter changes were needed. Normally this can only count for maybe 5 to 10 percent of your entire cases. Now consider someone coming here who has no idea how all this work sees this and thinks wow it is not hard to do. So tools in the wrong hand or in hands of people who know nothing of this field are dangerous.

I think when Technical people work on this and make the tools they know of only one thing. How to figure all this out. They are not concerned with the menu screens, and how nice they look and how they can improve the looks on them. They are only concerned that the program they write works. They are the worst in the world to ask questions to and to write a manual that is of any use what so ever.

I know this for a fact this was my work for many years and technical people are the worst to deal with. You can never make them see past the screen in front of them and look at other ways of doing things. They have it in their head it should be this way an that is all you will get from them on it. When you ask a simple question be prepared to spend 4 hours listening to hear your answer. I am not saying it is like this for all technical people but a majority of them I had to deal with in the past it was. It got to be so bad that I had to write the manuals for myself and work in order to get the information needed to do the job and supply it to the techs that worked for me.

Plus ever try to translate from one language to another. Try to translate from Russian to English or Chinese to English and vis versa on this one. You will find it is not such an easy task. Even to go from English to French and vis versa it not a job that is so fun to do even when you know the two languages well.

This is all I am asking consider all this when you complain about a tool. Consider even if it was the best program, nice screen layout, great manual, would you still be able to buy it and use it right out of the box if you had never done this work before.

That is all.

Generally speaking (not WD) , if you configure (ehm...ehm...) the drive, even software solutions work fine. At least for me :)
