Very responsive to questions and professional. I appreciated the support I received from Reggie. Also, the software works well as advertised. I would recommend to anybody.
Cons
Have not found any Cons.
Summary
This is a very cost effective way to clear multiple drives. The program gives many options and has excellent reporting capabilities. Very satisfied with purchase and especially tech support.
Used to be the best, but seriously needs updating

Pros
Effective at recovering data from drives which sometimes are not accessible via traditional application-based means. Low system requirements; bootable. One of the pioneers of the "reverse-clone" process.
Cons
Now eclipsed by more refined solutions. No option to skip chunks of presumed bad sectors and return for imaging attempts later. First bad sector produces dialog box requiring user interaction. Unreliable USB access; wonky interface. Expensive. Slow.
Summary
As a technician, "MTL" used to be my first option for data recovery. Now, however, it's rarely recommended by experts, as other, better tools are available, many of which are even FREE (ddrescue on Linux). I purchased this product around a year and a half ago and have successfully imaged at least two troublesome drives with it. It seemed worth the cost at the time, but if I had to do it again, I probably would have skipped it and simply tried other tools with similar capabilities.
More than anything, MTL severely needs an update if it wants to remain relevant. It NEEDS a better interface, more reliable USB access, faster operation, an option to skip blocks of presumed bad sectors, and an option to prevent the dialog box notifying the user of the first bad sector/read error encountered--at the very least.
Even when it does work, it's remarkably SLOW. I now find myself better served by such inexpensive and intuitive solutions as R-Studio and GetDataBack, which are updated infinitely more often and almost always work. If you're pondering giving Media Tools Pro a try, just don't get your hopes up--it's evident from the very first moment that it's not the application it once was.
it is a very nice program it has changed my computer
