Atola Bandura

We are shutting down Bandura

We are retiring Atola Bandura, our standalone high-speed disk duplicator. If you have one, please update to the latest firmware. Do not worry, we will still fully support your Bandura if you run into any issue. Why would we cancel such a great product? Bandura was the coolest disk duplicator ever. We put a lot of effort into making it a great product, so it was hard for us to make this decision. One of the reasons why we are canceling Bandura is because when it comes to pure features, it is very similar to our flagship product, Atola Insight. Both products have the same features, which makes these products Read more…

Bad Sector Recovery

Hard drives are built in a way so that they never return unreliable data.

Physical corruption is easy to understand – it occurs when there is physical damage done to the media surface. Magnetic corruption occurs when hard drive miswrites data to a wrong location. While the latter may seem to be less damaging, it is actually as dangerous as physical damage, since miswritten data may Read more…
