Total waste of money, don't bother
StephenMarshJune 14, 2013
Pros
none that I can find, unless lightening your wallet of $140 is a *good* thing
Cons
Takes forever, finds little - then extracts it all as useless raw data. COmpletely worthless unless you want to slog through 791,000 files to find the one you're looking for, what a joke
Summary
Save you money - this software is crap. Wish I could get my money back - total waste.
It recovered & restored my Corrupted Ubuntu Linux OS

Pros
It recovered & restored my Corrupted Ubuntu Linux OS. I had really screwed up my Ubuntu OS (knowing enough about Linux to be dangerous). I tried HDD Mechanic 2.1 and it fixed it to my surprise.
Cons
So far none. Only thing that might come close it that is a bit slow or at least it seems. I guess it depends on how badly damaged or screwed up your HDD is.
Summary
It has worked so far for me.
The only software that worked

Pros
Intuitive, easy-to-understand interface Very thorough recovery Worked when no other software would
Cons
Nothing that I could find.
Summary
I had a Maxtor 1TB hard drive go bad with no warning. I tried three paid hd recovery softwares (trial) and various free recovery software and online recovery options. Nothing worked -- I just got messages that the drive was too damaged for recovery. As a last ditch effort before I salted the drive and threw it out, I tried HDD Mechanic 2.1. It recovered 95% of the files on that bad hd and backed them up to a storage drive with a couple of clicks. I also tried it later on an old drive with WinXP on it, and it worked like a charm on that too. I signed up to CNET specifically to give HDD Mechanic this review because I'm so grateful for the software and what it did for me.
