Many customers utilize various diagnostic test packages, however at times, these packages will report different results. Ultra-X's advantage over competitive products is a combination of 3 items: • Ultra-X diagnostics are completely Operating System independent. This means no DOS or DOS derivative, no Linux and no Windows. Ultra-X diagnostics perform in the cleanest environment possible; This translates into providing the most accurate test results. Other diagnostic tools utilize Linux, WinPE or DOS derivatives such as DR.DOS, EURODOS which are close to being 3 decades old - single threaded and outdated.

• Ultra-X diagnostics utilize proprietary test methodologies. We develop exclusive, custom proprietary test methods from failure analysis on defective components.

Ultra-X frequently updates the product line, releasing a minimum of two updates a year. • Ultra-X develops and utilizes hardware designed to assist in heavy data generation on the main databus. We call this our Noise Pattern Generator. This is also the reason why our USB hardware is very chunky in size as compared to standard USB flash drives.
