Hello Sir,

I am Luiz, based in Brazil, and we are a data recovery school. We offer tools from partner manufacturers and would like to invite you to a partnership, including your tools in our offerings catalog. This way, we can present your solutions for HDD and flash data repair and recovery.

We would like to request permission to translate some of your videos into Portuguese and Spanish. If you agree, we will download a few videos from your YouTube channel, where you showcase your tools, and present them to our clients. This will establish a reselling and independent teaching partnership.

Could you please provide information on your best Dolphin tools for HDD refurbishment (including bad block cleaning) and their respective prices? We would also appreciate receiving detailed information about your data recovery products and tools.

We eagerly await your response.

Best regards

DFL DDP data recovery software works with DFL-SRP, DFL-PCIe and DFL-URE data recovery hardware. DFL-DDP is mainly used to image patient hard drives, extract files directly or fix common hard drive firmware failures.

DFL-DDP helps to image faulty hard drives with many bad sectors;
DFL-DDP helps to image faulty hard drives with weak heads;
DFL-DDP helps to fix faulty hard drives’ common firmware failures;
DFL-DDP helps to image or extract lost data from external hard drives directly by connecting one Dolphin SATA to USB adapter;
DFL-DDP helps to image or extract lost data from NVME SSDs by connecting one Dolphin SATA/NVME to USB adapter;
DFL-DDP helps to image or extract lost data from USB flash drives by connecting one Dolphin SATA to USB adapter.

With DFL-DDP, Users can make best use of the disk image or file extraction settings:

Write blocking;
Set LBA range to image;
Forward read or backward read;
Set read block size;
high-speed/low speed/intelligent read;
Soft reset/hard reset/power reset;
Settings for sector read timeout values, sectors to skip, etc;
Set up head map for hard drives to image good heads and then image weak heads;

With DFL-DDP, users can fix the following common firmware failures:

Seagate common firmware failures fix-Busy, undetected/wrongly detected, capacity 0 fix; SIM error fix;
Western Digital hard drive common firmware failures fix-slow fix, edit head map in ram, smart reset, password removal, etc;
Samsung hard drive common firmware failures fix-clear alist, led fix, etc;
Hitachi hard drive common firmware failures fix-virtual translator;
Toshiba hard drive common firmware failures fix-clear g-list, virtual translator, etc.

Please note: if the faulty drives are not spinning, this can be head totally damaged, motor stuck, PCB burnt or rom damage, users need to fix the physical issue or rom corruption and then users can diagnose further on firmware area and then image the faulty drives or extract files.

If users want to repair complicated firmware failures or want to operate on firmware modules, users need the DFL firmware repair tools.

Dolphin Data Lab has both USB to SATA adapter and SATA to USB adapters and some users want to learn about the difference between these two adapters.

USB to SATA adapter

HDD USB-SATA Adapter Pro. is one very helpful adapter connecting both 2.5″ and 3.5″ SATA hard drives to your computer by one USB3.0 cable to an available USB 3.0 port on your desktop or laptop.

With this adapter, you can use the SATA drives as the portable drives, very convenient to use.

Users can connect SATA drives to DFL-URE or DFL-URE plus data recovery equipment and then users can image the sata drives or extract the lost data from SATA drives.

Universal SATA-USB Adapter Pro.

Universal SATA-USB Adapter Pro. is specially designed to work with DFL-SRP data recovery hardware or DFL-PCIe data recovery express or similar data recovery hardware tools to connect USB devices for disk imaging or file extraction. These data recovery hardware tools have SATA/IDE ports but don’t have USB ports.

With this adapter, users can easily connect external hard drives, USB flash drives, With Universal SATA-USB Adapter Pro. and NVME to USB adapter, DFL-SRP or DFL-PCIe or other similar data recovery hardware tools are able to image or extract lost data from NVME SSDs too.

As for data recovery from USB flash drives, there’re usually several types of data recovery cases including accidental format, deletion, slow recovery, bad sector data recovery, controller corruption repair and recovery, firmware corruption repair and recovery, etc.

We can also devide above cases into two types: chip-on usb flash recovery and chip-off usb flash recovery.

In this article, unstable USB flash drive data recovery(chip-on data recovery) will be focused. This kind of case is easy for all users but users need some professional data recovery hardware tools and adapters.

For unstable USB flash drives, users don’t need to solder chips off, don’t need to read chip data, analyse chip hex, restructure hex data, etc. Chip-off recovery is very difficult for many engineers specially for those who are new to data recovery field.

The following are usually data recovery solutions for USB flash drives:

1, common data recovery software for recovering accidental format, deletion;
2, data recovery hardware tools with features of software reset, hard reset, power reset, ready timeout control, etc, users can consider DFL-URE USB3.0 data recovery hardware(two USB3.0 ports) or DFL-URE Plus data recovery hardware(One USB3.0 port and one NVME port), users can connect the unstable USB flash drives for direct disk imaging or file extraction; If users have other types of data recovery hardware with SATA/IDE ports, such as DFL-SRP or DFL PCIe data recovery hardware or other similar data recovery hardware, users just need to have one Universal SATA-USB Adapter Pro. so that users can connect unstable USB flash drives for disk imaging or file extraction. These tools can actually fix the chip-on recovery cases efficiently;
3, Special chip-off recovery tools are required when the usb flash drives are dead or suffering controller damage or firmware corruption.
