Dear Sir/Madam,

We are looking to equip our lab with data recovery equipment. We usually work with both internal and external SSDs/HDDs as well as NVMe drives, USB flash cards and memory cards etc.

Thus my first question would be, what products (or combination of them) would you suggest to solve these tasks.

Regards,

Data Recovery Solution:
What Data Recovery Tools to Buy

>SSD data recovery tools & adapters

Hi!

Hope you’re having a good day,

We are interested in buying the hdd repair tools and software.

Please guide us on if one set of tools are required for all brands or there are different tools for WD, Seagate and HItachi for 3.5 Inch and SSDs.

Furthermore, How can we purchase the repair program including the frameworks of the drives.

Lastly, could you please add in the prices for all the components.

We would like to set up training for this software too so please guide us on how we can do so.

We will be eagerly waiting for a response.

To answer this new client: What Data Recovery Tools to Buy

Need to confirm these tools are used only for hdd repair or both hdd repair and data recovery?

The best hard drive ROM chip readers are to save users’ time on soldering work, support new hard drive ROM chips’ read and write and protect the data drives’ PCB. Some improper or wrong soldering work may damage the chip or circuit and finally the PCB got dead.

Not all drives support hard drive rom chip direct read and write by pin connection without any soldering work but most drives do.

Dolphin hard drive rom readers contain both pin reader and chip socket reader:

For above patient ST4000LM024 HDD data recovery, users need to open the patient HDD in clean room, find donor heads and swap the heads with proper hdd head replacement tools to continue.

This is one very common Seagate F3 hard drive firmware repair and data recovery case study.

Patient HDD Symptom:

In the com terminal, the drive outputs SATA reset and it shows the drive doesn’t have major firmware corruption but the problem is that the patient hdd doesn’t get ready and users need to wait for a long time to be ready.

For this kind of case, users need to be very patient with the patient hdd, users need to enter the main firmware repair software interface, sometimes, users need to manually select hdd family or need to use boot mode to read hard drive ID from the PCB.

After the patient hdd gets ready, users can unlock the firmware area and backup important SYS files or backup important sys files directly.

Next users just need to disable vacant active and turn off the media cache and then power off and on the patient HDD, the patient HDD will be perfectly fixed. If this kind of simple repair can fix the patient HDD failure, users don’t need to regenerate translator.
