Ok, I've just confirmed that it also works on the 2.5" models. Same two center pins. Here's a photo of the connection: I'm quite surprised how quickly it reads/writes the ROM code. Much faster than Seagate boot ROM utility. Un-bricked two PCB's already today using it. This is great, now...

Thought this benchmark on Tom's Hardware was interesting: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/usb ... 037-2.html Looks like the 3.1 revision will give quite a nice speed boost. Might actually make it as fast as direct SATA connection for target drives when imaging.

What have you guys found to be the best software for handling Ext 4 file systems with a ton (and I mean a ton) of bad sectors in the file table? My gut is to just go with R-Studio, but I've never had one this filesystem with so many bad sectors at the beginning. Strangely the latter 99% of the...

Anyone else hear about this? http://www.nbcnews.com/tech/security/ha ... ne-n295196 Apparently they've created a holiday in honor of data privacy. Guess there's a holiday for just about everything these days. Which day is "Data Recovery" day?

I've never owned any Atola products and I'm curious. Already owning PC-3000 is there any useful purpose to buy Atola? As in, does it offer any features Ace doesn't already have? I just can't see how they justify the cost otherwise.

Went to er-tools.com the other day and was greeted by this message on their homepage I hope they get more soon. I actually liked these tools, and the price was fair.

I've added a section which only global moderators will have access to. If you notice a user who isn't an outright spammer, but might need to be banned/restricted please post a discussion of their behavior there. Thanks Guys!

So I decided to add a specific section for this instead of just including it in the off topic section. Given how competitive this business can be (especially online) it's a topic I expect to come up often.

Something strange has been going on with Tom's hardware. Over the last 4 days dozens of posts of mine answering questions were all marked as "best answer". One night within an hour about 8 of my posts were selected. I think I have a secret admirer or something. That or someone is trying to...

Hey Guys. I've just added a new logo for my re-sellers/partners to put on their homepage. What do you think? You can see it on one of my partner's site here: http://www.tech911inc.com (I adjusted the color to match his site better which I'll do for all my partners)

Due to some spammers slipping through, I've had to adjust to have the first three posts of new users approved by a moderator. Hopefully this will prevent anymore from slipping through. Moderators please be careful what new posts you approve and thank you for keeping any eye when I'm offline...

Just a though. Some of us, myself included, haven't had the time/resources ($$$) to invest heavily into flash recovery yet. However, when the occasion arises would like to be able to handle it "in-house" rather than mailing out. So my concept is, were I to purchase a USB NAND reader such as...

Alright, who approved this post?

Has anyone successfully used this feature? I'm assuming it's similar to the Seagate ROM boot code utility for writing the ROM and possibly could be used to fix bricked PCB's with bad ROM codes. But I can't seem to get it to work ever. Has anyone figured this feature out yet?

Ran into a strange event today that doesn't make sense to me. Had a HTS547575A9E384 come in that had a burnt out PCB. I wasn't able to read the NV-RAM through the utility as it wouldn't come ready, so I physically moved the chip. The recovery went perfectly, read every last sector. Now I...

I've decided to make a sticky of this topic. Whenever a file type arises that R-Studio can't find in RAW scan and I build a custom search I'll post it here. If you'd like to contribute yours just post the xml file below and I'll add them into the archive. And if you need a custom search built...

Thanks to the steady supply of abhorrent pornography posted by the HDDGURU user DataPlanet, I've had to implement the new user feature. From now on everyone's first post will need to be approved by a moderator. Moderators, please be careful who's posts you approve. Check their user name and...

The firmware server is down for now, as I just sold all my lab equipment, including the NAS that was hosting all my firmware resources. I'll put it back up somewhere else in the near future. I'm just busy with other things right now.

I just banned a couple more user accounts created by this idiot. At least this time I saw the account before he had time to post anything.
