A dialog box asks if you want a Quick or Deep scan-and, as in all the other products we tried, you'll almost certainly want a Deep scan because a Quick scan is unlikely to find the deleted files that you want. When you launch Data Rescue PC4, it presents a laconic menu listing your current drives, and-in most cases-you simply select a drive that you want to scan for lost data. Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions. ( See how we test everything we review (Opens in a new window).)
There's more on the mail-in service and Mac version below. For Apple fans, we also reviewed the $99 Mac version of Prosoft Data Recovery. Like Ontrack and Seagate, Prosoft offers a high-priced mail-in service that attempts to recover data from physical drives. Prosoft doesn't include an option to delete data securely-a feature included in most rival products-but then again, you probably don't absolutely need that feature in an app designed to recover data.
It's a very good app, but Editors' Choices Kroll Ontrack EasyRecovery and Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery are our top choices for Windows data recovery.ĭata Rescue PC4 comes with no time-limit on its use-unlike the annual licenses required by Ontrack EasyRecovery and Seagate Premium Recovery Suite-but it can only be used on five disk drives, unless you buy a $299-per-year Professional license, which has no limits on usage. Under the hood, however, Prosoft performed extremely well at finding deleted files, though it wasn't able to identify some of the files it found in a way that lets nontechnical users figure out what those files are. Its interface is adequate for technicians and anyone else who is getting paid by the hour to recover files, but it's not as suitable for real-world users who need to get back a deleted file as quickly as possible. Its latest Windows version, Prosoft Data Rescue PC4, is fast and powerful. Prosoft Data Rescue has a long and distinguished reputation among data recovery software. Option to create disk-copy clones rather than faster, more manageable disk images.Over-complex, under-informative interface.

If the demo version does not allow you to open and preview the contents of your file, and only displays the file names, the full version will not work either. This will allow you to perform a full scan, visualize the scan results, and preview every single file. There are never any guarantees with data recovery, which is why we offer the demo version of the software. Unfortunately, we do not offer any refunds for our products.

In this case, no software will be able to scan your device, and you will need the drive evaluated by a data recovery service provider. It could be possible that your drive is malfunctioning to the point where your computer is not able to talk to it at all, in which case even the device name will not appear. Try the File > Refresh Drives List menu item. If you have attached a drive with a damaged volume since you started Data Rescue, Data Rescue may not automatically notice it.
