You're far better of with R-Studio or DMDE which are considerably less expensive.

For example, Partition Recovery helped me a lot at one time when I had a similar situation. You need software that will work directly with damaged disk partitions. one will find some the other some more.ĭoes anyone have any recommendations for better service than these? Neither program seems to be able to find all the files. I am trying to recover the data on an 8TB HHD that the root drive was accidentally deleted from. Need recommendations for Data recovery Software? I have both Wondershare Recoverit and Ease US Data Recovery Wizard. For 2 you can even use a free tool like PhotoRec. Tools I mentioned outperform tools mentioned in OP when it comes to 1, file system reconstruction. It is also almost always quicker.Ģ is last resort and comes with disadvantages, no file names, no original folder structure, works for contiguous files only. Depending on file system it also allows you to recover fragmented files (NTFS). In general there's 2 ways you can 'detect' files:ġ Dig up file system meta data (directories, MFT entries) or,Ģ RAW scan, scan for magic bytes to detect JPG, MP4 etc.ġ is nicest because it also allows you to recover filenames, folder structure etc., any info that's kept in the file system. R-Studio most definitely one of the best you can get if it will be your only tool.Īll these tools can do a raw scan (some times referred to as deep scan because it's better to market). In a different scenario another tool may outperform ReclaiMe. For example I have seen ReclaiMe recover files from for example HFS+ where the others didn't. If a standard scan does not give you the results you want you can have it do a deep scan but that can take quite a long time on a big HDD, up to a few days on a large drive with lots of data but it will find more than most of the other suggested programs.Īh, missed that, my response was to OP. R-Studio as mentioned above is one of the better if not best recovery programs at an affordable price.
