Product information

Bandura is a brand-new standalone 2-port disk duplication and diagnosis tool. Bandura allows fast disk duplication, automatic checkup, comparison, and secure data erasure. It does not require a PC; the only thing it needs is a 100–240V AC power socket.

Bandura can work with damaged disk drives and handles bad sectors properly. The tool features an intuitive touch screen user interface that allows launching any task in just 2 touches.

Examples of use:

  • Recovering data from damaged hard drives
  • Secondary duplication tool to free up more expensive tools for other tasks
  • Test disk drives for failures
  • Secure data destruction (disk wipe)
  • Cloning only occupied sectors (quick cloning)
  • 1:1 write-protected data acquisition
  • Disk comparison (locate sectors that are different on two drives)
Key features:
  • Properly handles bad sectors and even severely damaged hard drives
  • Super-fast on non-defect drives: maximum duplication speed is 16 GB/min (265 MB/s)
  • Multi-pass imaging (gets most data as quickly as possible on the first pass, then read the rest)
  • Ability to stop/resume duplication sessions anytime
  • Disk diagnosis – PCB, head stack, firmware, SMART, media, file system checks
  • Checksum calculation: MD5, SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512
  • Bad sector repair function
  • HPA and DCO max address management
  • Secure disk erasing with custom patterns: maximum speed is 17 GB/min (280 MB/s)
