"Great for recovering files from a formatted drive"
Version: Recover My Files 4.9.4.1343
Pros
It's easy to use, and does a very good job of finding files on a drive that has been reformatted.
Cons
The drive scanning phase can take hours on a large drive, but really, who cares how long it takes if you're able to get your files back?
Summary
I've used this on multiple occasions to recover files from a formatted hard drive. Compared to other similar utilities I've tried, this one seems to find a lot more recoverable files.

"Works well; takes a long time"
Version: Recover My Files 4.9.4.1343
Pros
-Salvages data from a disc that is unreadable in windows and linux
-Prioritizes the file types the users wants, can ignore the rest
-Is effective and fairly user-friendlyCons
-Takes a LONG time (500GB 5400 RPM drive took over 24 hours)
-Tends to visually hang while operating, giving the impression that it couldn't continue when it could
-Not asthetically pleasing (if you care about that sort of thing)
-free trial will detect files but not recover them
-Loses access to recovered files if computer is put to sleep, requiring a restart of the whole processSummary
All in all I'm pleased with this software. I've never used data recovery software before and while I had heard of sotware that was supposedly better and faster (Digital Rescue Premium -TopTenReviews) this is the best software that I could find that even had a free trial.
So, since I already knew it worked because I could test it, I bought it and was able to recover my friend's school documents from his crashed hard drive. I did notice that the paid software ran faster and was more responsive than the trial software so there is hope for those of you on the fence about buying it.
Despite my gripes, this software does what it advertises it will do (once you purchase it) and it does it well. My friend's data was recovered and really that's all that matters when looking for software like this. -
"Saved my butt on more than one occasion!"
Version: Recover My Files 4.9.4.1343
Pros
The free demo immediately showed me a list of deleted files which included the Microsoft Word files I knew I had accidentally deleted. These files were critical for a project due the next day. I was able to purchase the full version online, received my authorization code immediately, and I recovered my deleted files within seconds! Yes, really! That was almost a year ago. I have used it at least three or four times since then and not just to recover deleted files from my computer. I've also used it to undelete an audio file from my Sony digital recorder. I've also used it to undelete a picture from my cell phone. On another occasion, it recovered a video I had deleted from my flash drive. Simply put, you can recover any type of file from any type of device you can connect to your computer that contains the software.
Of note, I also purchased the CD in addition to the instant download just because I like to have CDs of all my programs for backup purposes.Cons
No cons for this product!
Summary
I'm a computer geek (at least to some extent), but you don't need to be a computer geek to use this program to retrieve your deleted files. If it isn't working for you, just double-check the directions very carefully. If you're already stressed out from accidentally deleting your files, you might accidentally skip a step. Just be patient with yourself and try it again! You'll be glad you did! Sooooooooooo worth the cost of the software - and then some! -Donna M., Southeast Michigan

"PRODUCT WOKS AS ADVERTISED"
Version: Recover My Files 4.9.2.1240
Pros
Software did exactly what I needed it to do, recovered files,JPEG, my computer crashed and lost all files. OS is Vista, so I ran a Recovery Manager to get computer to operate. Recover My Files is an easy to use software, downloaded from the internet without one problem.
Cons
FOR THE LOW COST AND TO PERFORM AS ADVVERTISED, IF I SAID ANY THING NEGATIVE I WOULD ONLY BE WHINNING. SERIOUSLY THIS IS A GREAT TOOL TO HAVE. NO CONS FROM ME!!!
Summary
Not only did I retrieve every file and picture from my computer. I have a 4GB SD HC memory card that was accidentally erased put in the reader on my machine and now have my pictures. Recover My Files will load on two computers. I'm sure there are other features I don't know i have. I would have paid the price of the software just to get my pictures. Usually, I never write a review but I was in trouble and Recover My Files came to the rescue!

Pros

Cons
Found that if you stop the search early on a "Drive Recovery" you can get back files much more quickly and that you don't always need to let the search run to the end of the hard disk.
