Hard Drive Imaging tool Review: SD Data Copy King vs. DeepSpar vs. Atola Imager



 DeepSpar Challenges:-       traditionally challenging to find a compatible system board, now includes a PCI-E1x ATA controller
-       no way to remotely monitor a running system
Atola Challenges:
-       not very flexible for playing with the configurations
-       when updating the firmware, requires the user to be able to push a button on the unit and start the process at the Windows Console (for me, I was across the room and need the assistance of another person)
-       when the unit drops its network connection, the process stops and the system needs to be completely rebooted and the Windows application needs a forced quit
SD Data Copy King
-       Can be easy to operate, and with amazing transfer rate  
-       Stand-alone without the limit of OS and file system
-       Cannot image data only area
