New feature for HD Doctor: ROM content automatic recovery for WD ROYL


New feature for HD Doctor: ROM content automatic recovery for WD ROYL


Our ROM content automatic recovery feature for WD ROYL series HDD has been worked out, now we are doing the necessary tests (besides this feature, there are other new features included in the coming upgrade), all of them will be released to our customers free of charge as usual.


This feature is critical as it is well-known that the ROM of WD ROYL series HDD contains unique adaptive parameters, thus users can not replace the native PCB (or ROM) with another for data recovery in case the native PCB (or ROM) is damaged or lost. With this new appended feature, it is enough just to place any PCB (or ROM) of the same family to HDA and choose "ROM Rebuild"; HD Doctor will synthesize native ROM content from the SA information stored on the platter and overwrite the donor one in automatic mode.


The main difference between our technology and our competitor is that: they synthesize ROM content by using donor firmware backup because they can't access the native SA when the drive is working with donor PCB; our technology allows users to access the SA in slow-read mode, so we can use the native SA information to synthesize native ROM content, thus users do not need to own a donor copy of firmware. This makes difference of success and failure in case you don't have a donor
