PC3000 News

[Scott Moulton]

As many of you might have heard, Ace Labs is lowering the price of the PC3000. My understanding is that you can now Purchase the PC3000 for about $4600. The add-on software module for the Data Extractor is still around $2500-$2800, making the total cost about half of what it once was at around $7000. This should make it more accessible now to people that have been thinking about it. I understand you can still purchase it from DeepSpar, but that support will come from Ace Labs in Russia. 

 

 

 

Thank you,

I have been using the support from Ace Labs for many years. They are
someof the most dedicated technicians that I have ever worked with and
do not stop until the problem is solved. As far as support goes,
forget the idea of "your call is important to us, please hold" and
then talk to someone who knows how to repower a device. You will be
working with the people who live, breath and work with the product on
a daily basis.

Have a great Day
Frank

I have been thinking of getting one but the price seemed prohibitive. Do those of you who own a PC3000 find that it is worth having for the amount of problems it can fix?


Thanks,

Phil

I emailed ace labs & the price drop was for north america to bring it inline with europe & other countries. 

Uk price for pc3000 with data extractor is about £5,500 inc of vat.

I am thankful that the PC3000 was the first major purchase for my
company. Reading the threads on the majority of datarecovery sites I
continually saw that when all else failed, the comment "find someone
with a PC3000" usually appeared. There is so much you can do with the
PC3000 that will help out recovering your customers data. At times,
when windows, linux... recovery tools fail, the PC3000 will recover
the data from bad sectors and recover the data (I call this hat money
for there is not a lot of work involved by the user).

Now when you get into the more difficult terrain i.e. bad heads,
corrupt firmware, one can get into the problem area (ROM) and turn off
the problem head and recover the data which us under the good heads.
Then do the head transfer and gather the remaining data. One can image
the entire drive or the specific folder or data needed.

The team at DeepSpar have excellent documentation on what one should
consider when purchasing equipment
Professional Data Recovery Solutions http://www.deepspar.com/PDRSolutions.html

I have attended training at DeepSpar (yes, this is highly recommended)
and it was well worth the time and money.

I could go on for a long time on this subject, but suffice it to say,
I only want to spend my money one time. The correct tools for the
correct task!

I already have a DDI. Does the PC3000 do everything the DDI does or do they complement each other? If I could sell the DDI it would certainly defray a good part of the cost.


Thanks,

Phil

The DDI is not a firmware tool, just an imaging tool. The PC-3000 can
copy off and/or repair firmware, remove many types of ATA locks, turn
off safemodes, run tests, and many other things. With the Data
Extractor add-on, you can also do imaging. However, the imaging is
not quite the same as you can do on the DDI, such as file focused
imaging by leveraging the MFT, reconstructing damaged sectors, doing
multiple passes forwards and backwards to ease stress on the drive and
maximize data captured on each pass etc.

[IT LAND]

Hi Guys,

After 2.5 years in the field and purchasing many tools i am thinking about buying a PC3000 UDMA.

I avoided that at the begining becuase of the high costs involved but i'm starting to get more jobs now.

I would love to get your advise regarding the tool and if i really worth the money.

I have several good data imagers at this stage so data extraction is not my focus although it is usually required on the same device after some FW repair or at least make it easier to extract without power off in some cases.

I am more concern about the ability to use it for more complex jobs like firmware corruptions, ROM Corruptions and repair after heads replacements like tuning MicroJogs etc.

And mostly about their manual, so they offer all this knowledge of repairing FW for all HDD brands in their PC3000 UDMA manual?

Do they have some case studies of what need to be done after heads swap for different types of drives etc.

Does all the functions of the tool explained properly in the tool.

At this stage in my learning i know that learning how to use it is the most important and case studies.

Any advise would be great,

Thanks,

Oded

I bought the PC3000 a few months back after years of humming and hawing... I must say I've been impressed with it. It rounds out the service offering and being that they give free support I find its paid for itself within a few months. On a downside their support has taken a nose dive with the loss of two technicians and they seem slower to respond to requests. Learning this tool is a significant commitment of time and effort. This is no DDI. If you have the time to commit then it's a game changer.... otherwise it will pay for itself slower but still prove valuable. All in all I'm happy with it. I just wish I had an expert next door that was available all hours of the day ;-). 

cheers si
