"BEST recovery software and BEST after sale care"
Version: File Scavenger Data Recovery Utility 3.2
Pros
-excellent customer care through livechat before buying anything and after.
-recovered all the lost data and more.
-no limitation on amount of data need to recover for the fixed resonable price.
-no internet connection required during either recovery or activation of their software.
-received activation key immediately after payingCons
slow on recovering everything, however, I had a large amount (took 2 days for over 680GB to recover)
Summary
Today I recovered all of my lost data after a painful experience with another software company that has a lousy customer service and a paid software that did not work, even though it was three times more expensive than this one and had limitations like internet connection is a must to activate the software and throughout the recovery so that they can monitor the amount you're recovering and charge you accordingly. Also, the activation key is received after 24 hours of purchase because the processing is done by another company.
With file scavenger I was able to chat with their customer service on their website and asked them everything. I then tried the demo which identified all of my lost data and then went ahead and baught an activation code, I received the code immediately afterwards and started using the software on my PC which was not connected to the internet and recovered all of the lost data from my corrupted external hard disc which I'm using to store my life's work, family videos and photos for the past 14 years. -
"Very effective on a bad drive"
Version: File Scavenger Data Recovery Utility 3.2
Pros
Finds files on bad media
Intuitive, flexible interfaceCons
None - worked very well for me
Summary
I had a boot drive (from a relative) that had crashed and was corrupted and after review by their local "IT guy" it was pronounced as dead. Too bad - all those years of pictures. I decided to give it a try. The free demo of this program ran, and ran - over 3 days. The drive was riddled with media errors, so I knew it was a long shot. But: it found basically everything. I bought the license to do a full recovery, and it pulled off everything except for a handful of files which were too corrupt to recover, and none of them mattered to me anyway. So from my perspective: 100% success and money very well spent!!!
