"Fantastic functionality, support, price"
Version: File Scavenger Data Recovery Utility 3.2
Pros
I couldn't find a truly free file recovery app. This one was well worth the price. They don't charge you by the megabyte like some others do. The interface is clean and very easy to use. I scanned my bad drive with two different popular recovery tools and File Scavenger was the fastest of the two (2.5 hours to scan my 4TB RAID array). Also, the other application seemed to only find specific file types from a pre-defined list. File Scavenger found ALL file types.
I was able to recover about 80% of my files which is fantastic considering the drive had been repartitioned and reformatted, and had a small amount of data written to it after that. I used the live chat feature on their website and was connected with someone who really knew their stuff instantly. They actually connected to my computer remotely and spent quite a lot of time working to recover the remaining files at no extra charge.Cons
It didn't find 10% of my files on the scan and the other 10% it found but couldn't recover. I don't really blame the software on this because the drive had been both repartioned and reformatted, and data had been written to the drive after that. 80% success is fantastic given the circumstances.
Summary
This product works great on hard drives, even RAID drives. It is WELL worth the price and the support is second to none. I feel this software has the best value of all the data recovery apps, combined with the best functionality.
I had to use this because my RAID5 array just vanished from windows one day. -
"A True Life Saver"
Version: File Scavenger Data Recovery Utility 3.2
Pros
This program really works. We didn't exactly have deleted files that we were trying to recover. My son had downloaded his partially-written essay from an email attachment and proceeded to work on it (and hit save) for 2 days not realizing he had not re-saved it to his local drive. We spent hours looking for his document in temp files and reading through forums until we came across the File Scavenger Data Utility suggestion and it immediately found the document in a hiddien IE5 temp file that we would have never located. We were all so relieved!
Cons
None that we came across.
Summary
Don't forget to save your email attachments to a local drive! This program did the trick in seconds.

"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!!!
