A feature that'd really make it worth paying for the pro version of hddsuperclone, is the ability to work with non-standard sector sizes. You know those 520 byte EMC drives. If it could read those drives and migrate to 512-byte sectors on the destination, that'd really make it a miracle tool...

Here it is all set up holding a set of junk heads for scale:

I'm probably not the only one who's been annoyed by how ahrefs basically killed all free accounts (unless you give cc info and sign up for a $99 paid plan temporarily). I've found that this site is a pretty good alternative for running site comparison, keyword analysis, etc.: serpstat.com

For those of you who can't justify spending 300 € on hddsurgery's overpriced head holder tool :lol: (which I assume is pretty much everyone) Here's an alternative that costs $36 and works every bit as well: https://www.amazon.com/Panavise-D08001- ... 000SX1ZN0/ Best part is, you can even...

Here's a better picture:

So I notice this in my email this morning: Looks like a Hitachi/HGST to me. So I guess WD is selling their laptop drives as HGST now, and selling HGST drives as their "enterprise" drives. The brand name confusion continues.

I'm just curious if anyone on here is an expert when it comes to using JTAG for reading memory from phones, tablets, etc. I've got a few questions as I'm looking at possibly getting into this more.

So this is something I haven't seen before. This ST500LM000 drive arrived head stuck. After freeing up the heads I powered it on, it ID'd just fine. I started to backup resources and during the process PC-3000 automatically power cycled it. As soon as it powered down, it got head stuck...

I'm finding something odd here that I've never experienced before. Perhaps it's just an issue with my only PCB of this family. I've got a Mars family drive here I'm working on, original PCB is completely cooked, and is one that stores the ROM code in the main IC rather than the U12. I've got...

Looks like modifying their posts has finally gotten back to the company. I got a nasty email from them about my "unethical activities" on the forum for calling their software "junk". haha. They're the filthy spammers who relentlessly hound this forum with fake posts and dropping affiliate...

Well, it seems that we had a total fumble of an attempt to update/upgrade the forum today. Things just kept going further and further sideways the more I tried to fix it. I finally had to just do a rollback of the forum to yesterday. So anything you posted in the last 24 hours is gone. :(

So I just saw this amazing piece of technology drop: http://www.acelaboratory.com/news/newsi ... itemid=206 Looks like Ace is moving into the realm of mobile device recovery. If they live up to their normal reputation they'll have a well documented / updated / supported solution. Glad I...

So I'm looking through my google search console to see where I'm ranking for some keywords and I find this hilarious entry: Why would someone be searching for "RAID recovery services Kim Kardashian", and why would google think that applies to my site. :lol: There's not one reference to her...

So I just stumbled upon this software: http://www.restorer-ultimate.com/download.shtml It looks frighteningly close to R-Studio, like an older but more Java looking version. Interestingly though the version is 9.1.8 whereas R-Studio is only at version 8.3.16. I even notice that the companies...

I see that HDD Head Tools (AKA DFL) has posted an E-Book about hard drive donor sourcing. Anyone actually read this and know if it contains any useful information beyond what's already been posted on donor drives and other public places? http://www.hddheadtools.com/product/don ... head-swap/

Looks like Ace has just updated the express card to add some new features: http://forum.acelaboratory.com/viewtopi ... 35&t=9287f Seems they've added some power monitoring, a speaker, and some "power supply modification" to increase reading speeds.

Someone just tried to drop a post requesting to trade child porn on this forum. I've obviously banned them by username, IP, email address, etc. However, they might come back. Moderators, please keep an eye out in case they try to return using a proxy and a new account.

I'm working on a rush case, and just had to share what this MFT looks like. It's got a perfectly defined scratch pattern. You can clearly see how it does each full rotation before hitting the next few bad sectors.

Has anyone done a lot of testing with crossing drive revisions with a totally different code after the / ? I'm assuming the format of the revision code is (hardware) / (firmware) so it may not matter what's after the slash for matching heads. Anyone take the time to really figure this one out...

So I just saw this posted on R-TT forum: New features: + Support for mdadm RAIDs + Support for Apple CoreStorage/File Vault/Fusion Drive That right there just about doubled R-Studio's value in my mind. :D
