Data Compass Standard
The Data Compass is a Hard Drive Data Extractor which operates at a maximum data transfer rate (UDMA100 mode) of 6GB/min using advanced ‘Data-Fetching’ techniques. And supports all hard drive manufacturers
The prime function of the Data Compass is to recover data from hard drives that have suffered physical defects to the stored data.
Data Compass Demonstration
What failures can the Data Compass help to solve?
• Data recovery from drives with a wide distribution of bad sectors where Logical Recovery software has been unsuccessful.
• Data recovery from a “clicking” drives caused by poor performance of the Read/Write head assembly or degraded magnetism of the servo information on the platter surface.
• Data recovery from a physically damaged platter surface achieved by ‘disabling’ the damaged area.
• Data recovery from a drive following head assembly replacement.
• Data recovery from a drive with physical defects within the firmware Service Area, unrecoverable using conventional processes.
What are the main advantages of using the Data Compass?
• High speed Data Fetching from defective IDE/SATA drives with a maximum data transfer rate of 6G/min (using support for UDMA and PIO multiplexing channels).
• 100% Cloning from the source drive with the guarantee of no loss of data, and read-only operation safeguarding the original.
• Works with Logical recovery software to enhance the data recovery rate significantly.
• Internal power protection and regulation program to protect the head assembly from prolonged reading of large bad sector areas.
• Advanced Data Fetching algorithms enabling forward or backwards reading and skipping of physically damaged sectors.
• ‘HD Ghosting’ techniques image the data from a defective drive to a functioning drive at the same time as data is being recovered.
• Data Compass is the first application to provide a solution for Hitachi drives with physical defects in the Service Area (SA); this is achieved by bypassing the SA failure and accessing the user data directly.
• Open-Source design enables the user to define whichever File System Recovery application they normally use to work with Data Compass.
• The Data Compass also supports: Seagate, Fujitsu, Samsung, IBM, Hitachi Western Digital and Maxtor.
