Good data recovery tool for a good price

[GeorgeStobbart]

Hello Everyone. I am new on this forum.

I just opened up a tech shop in Dominica and I am planning to take on some cases for HDD data recovery. At my previous job we used PC3000 and DeepSpar DDI3 and DDI4. However these are incredibly expensive for my operation. Each one is over 3500 USD :-0.

Software, no matter how well it’s built can’t do recovery right because of PC limitations itself. Does anyone know if there is a hardware solution (Data Recovery Imager of some sort) that doesn’t require to sell a kidney and one of my kids? Any experience that you had in the past?

I would really appreciate your help

There are 3-4 others, but nothing even comes close to pc3000. pc3000/deepspar hardware is 95%+ of the market for a reason. Even pc3000 and deepspar can only do ~60% of data recovery cases. ~30% of cases will require clean room work or flash devices that need rebuilds, RAID/SAN/Database recoveries than need proprietary software.

With ddrescue only you can handle 30-40% of data recovery cases.
You're best bet is to learn to use ddrescue well and outsource the rest until you can purchase pc3k again.

I was afraid that it was the case. Thanks for info TyrOd. I don't really care about the 30% of clean room cases. Those are definitely outsourced. I guess at this moment ddrescue is my only compromise. Anyway, if anyone has a solution, let me know

Hey guys,
I recently saw that Deepspar released a new product. Rapidspar. From what I read it looks like a good compromise for me. And the price is more affordable. However I didn't find any reviews or hands on experience by anyone. Did anyone try it yet? http://rapidspar.com/
