(The hdd repair tools built for data extraction from failed hard drives.)
![]() |
New hdd repair tools- Data Compass Premium with extra opportunities for data extraction from RAID system has been released! According to 3+1 Data Recovery and data extraction process, the stage following the drive restoration will be data extraction using Data Compass. After bringing the failed drive back to life, as a hdd repair tool and data extraction professional, you know data extraction need to recover data from the damaged file system by using data extraction software; and maybe you know also you need to do imaging in order to work from an accurate, stable hard drive before start the data extraction. |
What data extraction works can Data Compass do?
Data extraction from physically damaged HDDs is what Data Compass designed for.
- 01.Data extraction from HDDs with severe multiple BAD sectors, which appear because of platter malfunction or instability of the magnetic head assembly (MHA).
- 02.Data extraction from HDDs that start to produce "clicking" sounds, which may be caused by corruption of sector servo labels or a MHA malfunction. Data extraction from hard drive If some heads or surfaces are damaged is possible (before installation of MHA replacement) to create a copy of data using the remaining good surfaces or drive heads.
- 03.Availability of hdd repair tools for logical analysis of FAT and NTFS file systems in the software complex allows data extraction in cases, when data extraction from a drive is functional and only logical data structure is corrupted.
- 04.When data extraction from malfunctioning drives, this hdd repair tool complex often allows selective data extraction to your customers without reading all data from a drive ("data extraction by file" without creating a complete disk image) saving a lot of time. In some data extraction cases, when drive malfunctions cause constant self-damage (like scratches on disks or instable MHA) these are the only means to accomplish this data extraction task. With the ShadowDisk technology adopted, users need not to worry about the drive degradation problem.
Highlights of data extraction tool Data Compass
01.Comprehensive data extraction support. This hdd repair tool carries data extraction works on all drives of different manufacturers with PATA and SATA interfaces. Including 3.5, 2.5, 1.8, etc..
02.The original data extraction interface built in this data extraction tool is 3.5 PATA, data extraction of drives with other interface types are to be connected to Data Compass via adapters provided.
03.With optimized algorithm and read protocol data extraction technology, this hdd repair tool is able to retrieve bad sectors that are partially corrupted and cannot be cloned/ imaged by other data extraction tools available, preventing the read attempt from being stuck and unresponsive in data extraction.
04.Auto soft reset data extraction, auto hard reset and auto power reset data extraction, totally three kinds of data extraction methods are used to automatically reset/reboot drives that become unresponsive due to media scratch in continue imaging process, so you don't need to stand around watching and waiting for the entire data extraction process.
05.Bypassing BIOS or OS which prevents data extraction from accessing corrupted data, This hdd repair tool gives you access to all available data, good and bad. Also you can define to read user data only or specific files in data extraction.
06.Pioneered Disk Image Technique - ShadowDisk, which images the sector physically from the defective drive to a functioning drive at the same time as the sector is being requested automatically while doing data extraction.
07.This data extraction tool adopts UDMA100 transmit protocol to reduce the time it takes to image a disk and data extraction with bad sectors, which is at least 30% faster than any other imaging and hdd repair tools available elsewhere.
08.Aiming at data extraction on those drives which have media defects in the SA, which is being undetected in the BIOS (so far no data extraction tool can fix this kind of problem).
09.This data extraction Service of Area Emulation Option now works on Hitachi family drives with ATA and SATA interfaces only, free upgrade that enables this data extraction function to carries data extraction on other manufacturers will be released in the near future.
010.Based on your data extraction need and the drive condition, you can define in the software the access mode of this data extraction tool: You can optimize the read performance to image with care and intelligence in data extraction process.
011.Stop and continue imaging/data extraction as needed - configuration information together with the map of good/bad/unprocessed sectors are saved on the destination drive, so whenever you stop data extraction you will have the read permit to each imaged sector.
012.Real-time monitor, buzzer and LEDs give you a clear feedback of the current imaging and data extraction.
013.Open Frame design enables you to define any kind of data extraction software you are familiar with to work with Data Compass, making your data extraction work much easier and more efficient.
014.Smart pass feature in data extraction: after a bad sector skip carried out by the software, instead of reading forward directly, the software reads backward until another bad sector is found. This data extraction process enables that you get the most user data by exactly skip the bad media only.
Advanced data extraction Technologies in DC Standard
Analog Data Extraction Technology: Feel that too difficult to conduct a data extraction with firmware repair? Or you have come across data extraction with media defects in the SA (so far no data extraction tool in the world can fix this kind of problem)? This data extraction technology enables us to directly generate key information for booting drive in RAM; users can initialize the drive and access data area independent of the drive SA. We can disable the read attempt to the damaged SA and access the data directly with our data extraction tool, no need to try hard to find suitable firmware donor in data extraction.
DBER Dynamic Balancing Enhanced Reading Data Extraction Technology: This easily helps data extraction from partially damaged bad sectors which can't be copied/ imaged by other data extraction tools. Experiments have proved that you will have 50% more data extraction and file opening success rate using DC, compared with other data extraction devices.
ShadowDisk Technology: It images every sector of the source drive you read to an external shadow disk, any following read request towards those "read" sectors will be directly transferred to the corresponding sectors on the shadow disk; which means each sector of the source drive will experience only one read operation during the whole data extraction process, which sufficiently avoid further damage to patient drive in the data extraction process.
