Our PC3000 systems are in use 24/7, the imaging function in data extractor is second to none. It is the first port of call when extracting data from 1.5 TB Seagate Hard Drives which have undergone platter transplants and Western Digital Hard Drives which have required a head transplant followed by head alignment calibration.
Not only is it a great product but ACELAB provide excellent support and outstanding customer service. A sound and essential investment for any data recovery company.
ACE Laboratory PC3000 UDMA is most powerful set of tools I saw on the market. Also dedicated support is unmatched in terms of quality of service provided.
I cannot imagine that any kind of work within areas of data recovery and computer forensics is currently being done without help of ACE Laboratory equipment.
We use our PC3000 on a daily basis and it's in use 24/7, so much so that we are considering the purchase of another kit.
Sure it seems expensive to begin with, but we anticipate the initial outlay to be recouped within a few months with recoveries that would be been very difficult or impossible without the PC-3000 UDMA complex.
I would consider PC3000 UDMA a "must have" tool for any professional recovery company, coupled with the live technical support and forum it makes a formidable tool and well deserved of it's status of market leader in it's field.
I would be only too pleased to recommend this product to any serious data recovery professional, and is definitely worth the money paid for it.

We use it to diagnose a drive failure if there is no mechanical/electronic fault with the drive. In reality, it is used to diagnose every drive, but the level to which it is used depends on each drive and the fault.
Success rate is difficult to determine, because of the variance in faults that we receive. For drives with a System Area corruption, success rate is very high, but this will depend on your experience fixing SA faults also.
For a recovery specialist, the menus are very intuitive, so they should be able to get up-and-running quite quickly, provided they have a basic understanding of System Areas, etc.
As you can see, we have a considerable amount of acelab equipment and if I was unhappy with it, I would not have purchased more than one! There really is nothing else out there on the market that compares.
Our business has grown significantly over the past few years and I honestly can say that we would not be where we are without pc3k. However, it does require a lot of focus and research. You need to read the manual a number of times to understand the processes, it's not a one-click solution.
To put it another way, PC-3000 is a fantastic tool which gives you access to the drive at a low level. How good it is and what success rate it brings depends on the user!
Now I often ask to myself "Can we do our job without PC-3000?". Yes, it is very attractive and deserves the title of "best data recovery solution in the world". I would recommend this to any recovery service company I contact.
Hard disk vendors continuously release new models but many of data recovery solutions are not catching up them. ACE Lab's solutions always catch up them very quickly. With news service and immediate technical support through MSN messenger, we can work very fast and can provide immediate service right on time to our customers.
Thanks to ACE Laboratory, providing best products and services.

The tools are made by professionals who know what they are doing and that have some deep knowledge in a very difficult area. There are some very important and exclusive features that PC3000 has compared to other suppliers, like imaging head by head, send ATA commands to the drives, etc.
Regarding it's tech support, I understand they are very busy people as we all are, but they make good efforts to help the users as well as to provide new updates in a regular basis with the new drive families and new solutions for known problems.
So I recommend Acelab products as the best in it's area.
With support for a large variety of makes and models of media, an extremely helpful technical support team, constant updates and capabilities to repair a huge variety of media related faults, PC3000 is the number one choice for any Data Recovery Professional. I am a very satisfied customer and look forward to dealing with them again.
