What it does

MRT is a firmware-level tool in the same class as PC-3000. Each brand module puts the drive in factory mode and works directly on its firmware.

  • Reads and writes firmware modules and service-area tracks, and works with the drive's ROM
  • A data recovery module that images drives with bad sectors, including head by head, and extracts files
  • Disk scan, surface test, ROM programmer and a firmware database
  • Works on several drives at once: imaging, drive-to-drive copies, formatting and RAID
  • An SSD module
