There’re many data recovery tools in the market today including different priced and functioned data recovery software and hardware. However, We must disappoint you to say most of the tools are not actually working or meeting users’ needs.

Almost each country has engineers who are able to create data recovery software and therefore most data recovery kits users find are data recovery software utilities. As for data recovery hardware or data recovery hardware and software complex tools, few companies of few countries are able to manufacture them and support them due to the high cost of hardware design, hardware moduling,embedding codes,codes encryption,software integration, software testing, hardware firmware design, interface design
and coding, etc.

Data Recovery Hardware Or Software and Hardware Complex Tools Have A Higher Level Of Solutions To Damaged Hard Drives, Flash Drives, SSDs, etc. and therefore, if users are planning to start a data recovery business, start one in-house data recovery sector or improve their data recovery capabilities, users must select data recovery hardware or software and hardware complex tools.

As more and more users have started using the new operating system Windows 7 64bit OS and Windows 8 64bit OS and they call pcs with these systems ‘modern computers’.

Dolphin Data Lab has already worked out the 64bit drivers for both DFL-DE device, DFL-DDP device and their COM ports. It’s easy for users to install these drivers following the manuals and run DFL-DE and DFL-DDP within the modern computers.

One of our major developing engineers-Mr. Wu is now especially working on the integration of the drivers with the DFL-DE and DFL-DDP hardware firmware and codes and he has offered his testing result as following:

For WD PCB1698 series, it’s one difficult data recovery job if the hard drive is not detected or keeps busy. So far it’s almost not possible for any other firmware repair tools to repair this kind of drive and get lost data back.

Situation becomes worse if these kind of PCB1698 hard drives don’t have the cache loader-module 13 and if the module dir is missing or damaged without backup, no other tools except DFL-WDII can repair such kind of hdd failure and recover the data.

Here in this article let’s discuss how to repair undetected or un-ready WD PCB1698 hard drives with DFL-WD II hdd repair tool.

Option 1: Users can use the universal loader-module 11 and ROM offered by Dolphin Data Lab deal with the patient hard drives.
