I'm in between purchasing the PC3000 or the HD Doctor Suite. What are
you guys experiences with both products? Ease of use etc... What is
the major difference (Besides the price)? Any information would be
helpful in making my decision. Thank You
Ron

I have all the SD doctor tools, but i had tested pc3k.
I didn't bought pc3k because the price was the double. If I knew then,
I would go for pc3k.

I have a SD Data Compass & the software is buggy as hell. If you ever sell
the SD kit you wont get a good price as they offer no support to the new
purchaser + they want you to pay a large amount to transfer the license
which is pointless as I said they get no support only updates.

SD kit is like entry equipment, Atola is middle of the range, Deepspar &
Soft Centre is top of the range.
Personally the kit I am going to go for is:
Deepspar:
PC3000 UDMA + Data Extractor
DDI Imager
PC3000 Flash SSD
Soft Centre:
Flash Reader + Flash Extractor

Hi Guys,
I have to partially disagree regarding the SD tools.
A year ago i bought all of the SD suite:
Data Compass Premium + HD Doctor Suite + HDE + Flash Doctor + Data
Copy King.
I recently bought the Deepspar Imager.
I think that even though the Data Compass software is a bit buggy its
a hell of a tool, I managed to recover almost all the data out of few
very damaged drives using it, it surprises me every time. it is not
that different from the DDI from what i'm seeing - DDI is much more
configurable which makes it very flexible comparing to the DC.
But SD released DC new versions quite often with improvements - so R&D
is working on it all the time.
The case with the HD Doctor is a bit different - it is not focused
enough and functionality is scattered all over the place without
proper help or manual.
I believe that with the right knowledge they are good tools, but this
knowledge is not available from the SD support unfortunately.
I am an embedded software engineer and developed many embedded
applications and i can surely say that the SD HD Doctor suite has a
very poor user interface, and the proper way to use the tool is hidden
and you can easily ruin few drives with the wrong button. SD market
and sell it as plug an play, but that is where the problem, you need a
lot of hidden knowledge to work with it.
HDE is good, i am happy with it.
Flash doctor does pretty much what the PC3000 flash doctor does and
both quite useless if you need to assemble data from few chips - quite
complicated to find teh manual algorithm.
Data Copy king is an expensive forensic imager that is good mainly for
good drives or with little bit bad sectors.
I haven't tried the PC3000 but i heard its a good tool, also quite
complicated and need some knowledge to work with.
The problem is the cost and the annual cost for updates - very
expensive.
The good side of SD is that they do many updates and their R&D is
working over time and its all free, buggy but free.
Cheers,
Oded

Greetings
When I made my first large purchase it was for the PC3000UDMA as well
as the Tech Support option. Many people will talk about the price, but
I have made the initial purchase price back already. The tech support
options, words can not describe the level of excellance and help that
have been given to me. If one were to go to DeepSpar website, they
even give you an excellent foundation on how to start and grow a
business.
I was so satisfied with the quality of the product that when I decided
to do NAND technology I purchased the PC-3000 Flash as well as the
support option. Again, excellent support, guidance and product.
I just recently purchased the DeepSpar DDI and so far I have been
amazed at what data it can pull from drives. All in all I may have
purchased the equipment in reverse order, Start DDI, Go to Flash and
then the heavy hitter PC3000UMDA, each addition has paid for itself
already.
DeepSpar and Ace Labs both hold training on their equipment and there
is nothing better than sitting with a technician and having them show
you how to maximize your recoveries. Yes, training is necessary, for
the equipment is feature rich.
I only like to spend my money one time and for me Ace Labs and
DeepSpar are the best investments I have made.
Best Regards
Frank
