MRT Main Interface

The MRT main interface provides the entrance function of the program. It adopts a module extension structure, consisting of a main program and several modules. Each utility can provide individual functions and is being upgraded periodically. New modules can be added for enhanced features in the future. The MRT Express software currently offers the following modules:

  • Common tools, which provide common functions such as disk scan, rom programmer, database management tool.
  • Data recovery tools, which provide data explorer functions such as disk mirroring, file system mirroring, etc.
  • Western Digital
  • Seagate
  • Hitachi/ IBM/ HGST
  • Samsung
  • Toshiba
  • Fujitsu
  • Maxtor
MORE DETAIL
Common Tools Utility

The MRT common tools utility provides common functions, such as disk scan, a test for HDD surface, and disk information check.

Data Recovery Tools Utility (DE)

The MRT data recovery utility provides data explorer functions such as enhanced disk mirroring, file system expansion, etc. The disk mirroring function offers the ability to handle bad tracks and can copy data from HDDs with lots of bad tracks.

The file system expansion function can extract all the files on the target HDD.

The professional parameter settings panel for copying a disk is in accordance with industry standard. It provides separate copy, reverse copy, and other advanced features. Additionally, it offers flawless support for a separate copy of Western Digital, Seagate, and Hitachi.

MORE DETAIL
Western Digital Utility
MrtLab

The MRT Western Digital module provides repair functions for Western Digital HDDs. Its unique "Diagnosis Mode" can quickly handle HDDs which don't appear ready (I.e. The BUSY status is long lit).

It has a convenient firmware folder management function. For every HDD that needs to be handled, it will build a special folder for it, and all of the HDD's firmware resources can be arranged according to the folders. It makes it very convenient to manage the firmware resources.

The unique "Read Module by Track" can read and write various modules correctly, which other similar product in the market cannot do.

WDC Module List provides detailed information for each module.

Its unique arithmetic formula generates ROM from the SA firmware area.

It supports the ability to use the database to manage firmware.

The database is fully compliant with the industry standard database format, which means that you can import the firmware from other database directly.

MORE DETAIL
Seagate Module
MrtLab

The MRT Seagate utility contains the unique ability to read and write SA tracks directly. This is important because many breakdown of Seagate HDDs are caused by data errors in SA tracks. Since the other common Seagate professional tools on the market cannot read or write SA tracks directly, this function that MRT Express provides makes it a step above the rest.

The MRT's Seagate utility function not only allows users to read and write SA tracks, but it also gives them the ability to analyze and revise data in SA tracks directly. It's an efficient way to handle such breakdowns in Seagate HDDs. At the same time, the Seagate utility also contains a unique serial port copy function, which can be highly useful. For example, when the ATmA interface of a Seagate HDD is broken and not being ready, as long as the user can enter the serial port, it can copy a user's data. This function can also be used in a disk copy. It provides a valid plan for extracting data from Seagate HDDs.

At the same time, the Seagate Program also provides a one-click repair solution for the problems of the front part being good, but the end part being bad in theF12 series HDDs. Currently, many Seagate F12 HDDs have this common breakdown, which can be caused by a variety of reasons. The most common reason is a table error caused by a defect. For these kinds of HDDs, the Seagate Program's one-click repair solution will most likely solve it.

The BOOT Mode tool provides the tool that works in the Seagate Boot code mode, which can be used to read and write ROM and other senior functions.

The MRT firmware writing tool is used to write the Seagate HDD's firmware. It can repair many breakdowns caused by corrupted firmware through writing into the correct firmware.

The SA ABA reading and writing tool can read and write System LBA directly. It is a valid tool to repair the service area.
