Data Compass Unlimited Version
Image & Recover Data From Detected & Undetected Drives
03: Hitachi firmware bypassing enables it a direct access to the data area even if there’s firmware corruption;
04: Fully configurable image options enable you to treat all faulty drives differently
04: Recover/Image only partitions/directories/files you need and recover data by selective head(s);
However, Data Compass finally adopted USB2.0 design which has a data transfer speed limit. On the other hand, Data Compass thereafter met the increasing demand of portable data recovery hardware equipment and customers are happy about the portability.
1Byte=8bit, 1KB=1024Bytes, 1MB=1024KB, Mbps= MEGABIT per second=1, 000, 000 Bits
USB 2.0 has a raw data rate at 480Mbps, which is also its theoretical data transfer speed=480*1,000,000/8/1024/1024=57.22MB/s=3.35GB/m
For a 500GB hard drive with perfect conditions, even if you have reached the theoretical data transfer speed of 3.35GB/m, you need to spend about 2.5hours. However, the theoretical 57 MB/sec can never be achieved due to the margin taken between the sof's. Most users can have a speed of about 25MB/s around. What if you are going to image unstable drives after a head swap or drives with a lot of bad sectors? At that time, you will find USB2.0 data transfer mode far away from a satisfactory imaging speed but USB design is an excellent feature for Data Compass to be portable and able to help users to provide door-to-door data recovery services.
Part II: Data Compass becomes more powerful with Data Copy King Add-on hardware-Top the disk imaging market
Let’s emphasize again ‘Data Copy King is not a replacement tool for Data Compass’ but one important imaging add-on hardware for Data Compass!
SalvationDATA always listens to the customers, market and we deeply understand the limit of USB2.0 to image drives with general speed and therefore we decided to upgrade Data Compass by creating one imaging hardware add-on using UDMA133- Data Copy King.
