Hard Drive Clone Software

Review by Voodoo: All the main tasks the program can undertake are Wizard-driven, taking you step-by-step through the process in a clear and logical way. You can restore complete images or selected files, making the program particularly versatile should you corrupt or inadvertently delete important information. This piece of hard drive imaging software is an attractive proposition. (5/5 - 28-Mar-2005) Review by Rob Duncan: Acronis True Image is fast, and very powerful. It's easily the best I have used till date and it makes disk imaging look much simpler and safe. The Windows support and ability to multitask while imaging is a great boon. Considering the customization and easy of use combined, it's a most sensible option for all those who can do without the scheduling feature. The software is a rock solid performer with maximum stability. There are options for password protection where one can set a password, which provides a secure Imaging experience. The compression level can also be set as per choice, so if one has a monster drive/partition to back up, the compression level can be set to high and vice versa. (5/5 - 19-Mar-2005)

Review by me: 1. Does not recognise sata drive 2. Emails returned - addressee unknown 3. trying to get payment returned. 4. Recommended? - no chance! (1/5 - 27-Apr-2007) Review by Mark: Way over-rated. Very poorly written users guide. Too much burde on the user to download other software to make Mechanic software start. Very limited capbility - can only handle one drive. No tech support -- phone number provided is fictitious. One job that is running has been going for over 24 hours. Crappy untested junk! (1/5 - 16-Feb-2007) Review by Rick Ground: Hard Drive Mechanic would not run on my machine. Support is nearly nonexistant. The 30-day moneyback guarantee is also worthless - once you have paid, they don't respond. (1/5 - 24-Nov-2006) Review by Robert Walraven: I'm not very computer savvy and my computer seems to almost always have some kind of problem. When my hard drive would no longer boot I purchased the Hard Drive Mechanic to try and repair it myself. At first, I couldn't repair my PC and thought the program didn't work. After another try, the Hard Drive Mechanic found FAT errors and partition table damage. Thank God that it fixed the problems automatically because I don't know what I'm doing. The Drive Mechanic is guaranteed to work so I was going to just return it if I couldn't figure it out. Now that I know it works I am keeping it for next time I mess up my computer. (5/5 - 1-Aug-2006) Review by adc: Actually I tried to use the Hard Drive Mechanic again to recover my drive and I am now able to boot up again. Every software I would run was crashing because of my hard drive errors.. (100% recovered now!) Turns out to be worth every penny of the 69 dollars I paid. (5/5 - 31-Jul-2006)

Review by Han Feigh: For anyone thinking about buying the hard drive mechanic... I tried it because it comes with a 30 day money back guarantee. Honestly, I planned on getting a refund after using it. In about 10 minutes, it scanned and repaired my crashed hard drive that was unreadable. For me, it turned out to be worth the $70.
