Meanwhile, Shadow disk technology reduces the number of read operations and the intensity of the operations towards the source drive, which increase the data recovery rate from the damaged hard disk by a big margin.
      In 2006, Mr. Fan leading the development team firstly made a success on the professional data recovery tools adopting USB 2.0 interface. With this pioneered technology, retrieving data from firmware damaged hard disk is no longer limited to operate on desktop computers. We can also operate it on laptop computers or any other professional devices. Since then, on site service came to the historic stage.
