I need to buy a hardware for cloning (imaging) hard disks SATA and ATA.
Because of the limited budget I am looking for something not too expensive but trusty.
Anybody can recommend any product?
Thanx for the help guys )

Not sure what you consider "inexpensive" in our field.

There are a couple of ways to go, first a dedicated device like a Logicube Talon (or one of their newer devices) or an Image MASSter Solo-4 which requires no computer; second is a write-blocker or bridge like the Tableau T35es or wiebeTECH Forensic UltraDock. Those obviously are all new items.

The other option is used. If you look in the classifieds there are a number of listings for equipment that would meet your needs.

The Tableau TD1 works for me. Fast, reasonably priced and easy to transport.

I have the Weibetech Ultradock. It's about $250 but I would also order the 2.5" SATA adapter kit for about another $50. Works well with USB, FireWire, and eSata.

D
Definitely good point BitHead )
Yeah I have thought about something with the limit of 1000 euros or similar.
Frankly speaking, I don't need a tool for 3 k USD.
Very big thanx for your detailed and valuable answer )
I gotta check all suggested products out.

Also big thanx clownboy and CforPro for your recommendations.
Thanx guys )

Yes, I have mentioned about it in my previous post Ron
It is a standalone tool, reasonable priced and looks good

How would you compare it to the TD1? (Excluding Price of course ? )

Greetings,

The feature set and performance of the TD1 is quite a bit better than the DiskJockey. You can compare the tech sheets to get the details for yourself.

Thanks. I wanted to view all of my options before pulling the trigger on the TD1. Of course this next question can be fun…who seems to have the best price on the TD1? )
