Recover even the most lost files
Stellar Data Recovery Professional is the go-to solution for restoring files and information that would otherwise be considered permanently lost. Whether through drive corruption or accidental deletion, Data Recovery Professional provides the means to recover these files, even if they were lost a fair bit ago. The software also comes with a free trial.
Stellar’s Data Recovery Professional really sets the bar for what to expect from a data retrieval program. With its features and ease of use, it would be difficult to find a better alternative. However, if you’re looking for something different or want to see if another solution can recover a file that this software can’t, then give Recuva or Recoverit Free a try.
An all-in-one package
When it comes to file recovery, the only fundamental feature that matters is the software’s ability to scan the relevant drives and obtain previously deleted files that you’re after. Despite many file recovery applications on the market, it isn’t easy to find one that consistently pulls as many results as Data Recovery Professional does.
With the Professional upgrade, users now also get access to partition recovery, which allows the recovery of missing partitions on a drive. Functionality is sorely needed when encountering this problem.
External hard drive users can rejoice as external storage devices are registered within scans, allowing users to select the drive they want to scan for files. Users can choose the type of files to recover from images, videos, or all files and folders together during this selection.
Issuing a quick scan will pull a list of all findable assets located on the selected drive. From here, the results will be presented in a tree-list format, similar to accessing files via file explorer. This should be sufficient enough for smaller searches. However, if you’re looking for a singular specific file, that alone could get complicated. Fortunately, Data Recovery Professional has you covered with a togglable preview mode that provides a small visible window to display the selected file. While this doesn’t work with all file types, it is helpful in finding that one photo or video in a sea of jpgs.
If the regular scan can’t find what you’re looking for, you can opt to conduct a deep scan. Deep scans search an extra layer within the device and pull back the curtain on more lost files. Caution is advised when running a deep scan, and the name certainly isn’t misleading. Deep scans can take upwards of 5+ hours, depending on the size of the drive you’re scanning.
If you’ve been using your device for a long time, or if it has been corrupted before, then expect to be waiting for a more extended period to get your results.
Future drive confidence
Stellar has implemented a variety of future-proof functionality into their professional package. This functionality includes recovering data from drives that have bad sectors. Thus, you can create an image on an entire hard disk of external media for a speedy recovery. Additionally, users can use the Drive Monitor add-on that tracks key attributes, drive health, and more to help avoid disk failure in the future.
This software also comes with a clone disk option, which allows for creating a replica to avoid permanent data loss if the drive were to fail in the future. All of these handy tools help users stay in control of their files.
The only downside we saw was that since Data Recovery Professional can only operate on Windows devices, Mac users can’t future proof their files or benefit from any functionality above.
Recover your Data with the click of a button
Stellar’s Data Recovery Professional sets the standard of what to expect from a data recovery software. Scans complete quickly (aside from the deep scan option) and retrieve everything we expected when using. The flexibility in scan options is invaluable when you know exactly what has been deleted and the file type.
The additional features on offer may never be used by the average user looking to recover their files. Still, it does provide efficient means to future-proof your files and give you greater control over your files. If you’re struggling to decide if Data Recovery Professional is right for you, give the free standard demo a try and see what files you can find.
