You will still never truly know until you do it yourself. There may be some quirk about your system that is different.
Since you are building your own system you are going to get grease under your fingernails so buy a spare $50 spinning drive and put all your imaging options under test. If you cannot recover your image to a blank HDD don't use that particular imaging software.
I suggest you try the new free Easeus imaging product as well.
