Nice find! Thanks for sharing, Luke.

Now they are showing version 2.001 with a Seagate LM partial sector access fix.

More credit where credit is due. This week I had to convert a 17GB OST to PST. After trying "OST2" by 4Team and then "OST File Recovery" by SysInfoTools I ended up using Stellar OST to PST Converter . The first two programs just choked and left the building, leaving behind only a...

To start competing right now with Drivesavers, Ontrack, Seagate, and probably even 300DDR you'll need to buy ads. When you buy ads you'll be competing for ad placement with more DR labs like, krollontrack, easeus, Fields DR, Gillware, and probably even 300DDR. So your prices would have to increase t...

and under the "Command to Read" tab in DE, I chose "do not use hardware retries". (There isn't a PIO option...didn't there used to be?..., but I guess maybe this would be the same, since you're not selecting a UDMA speed?) Yes, there are 2 PIO options in DE 1) Use hardware retri...

Could be a great find, If it functions as good as it looks.

Feel free to refer people my way if they have projects that you don't want. OK, I'm still toying with the idea but will keep you in mind if I make it official. I'm still on the fence because I might tell someone we don't chip-off a 256GB flash device and then 6 months later when they inevitably dro...

It's interesting that you brought this up today. I am actually considering only offering chip-off up to 64GB. I cater to people that can't really afford recovery or at least don't think they can. The amount of time it takes to chip-off a USB 128GB or larger is crazy and rarely, if ever, a full recov...

I agree, while it appears Seagate has come down some on their prices I think companies like drive savers are still scaring individuals off. I just recovered a 2TB WD that was in a QNAP (RAID 1). The company sent both drives and they were quoted $8000! It's a mirror! It's not like they needed to reco...
