The Good
* Scans quickly.
* Supports scanning of internal hard drive and external media (USB/flash drives and external hard drives).

The Bad
* Horrible recovery rate (only reads from MFT?).
* Shows all non-deleted files; no way to turn this off either.
* No way to go back to step 1 after you get to step 2 (bar closing and reopening program).
* "Preview" of files does not work.
* Does not specify the "recoverability" of files.
* No help file or proper documentation.

This Software is published several times on this Site. But "EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard Professional" is much advanced then this. So I advice every body not to download this. PC becomes much slower than normal. So ne'er install this.
If you have any queries regarding this, please feel free to contact me at "sukha.sukhjinder@gmail.com".
Thanks!

#13, John, when people claim that some other recovery software works better than Recuva, I'm always strongly inclined to suspect that the wrong options were used with Recuva. First of all, make sure that you're using the latest version, as it's updated frequently (I always let it check for updates). If you're using the wizard, don't restrict it. For File type, always select Other (Show all files). For File location, let it search everywhere ("I'm not sure"), or an entire logical drive ("In a specific location", specifying the entire drive). Do not Enable Deep Scan for normal cases, that's for cases where the drive has been quick-formatted or the partition or file tables have been damaged. If you use the wizard, after the scan completes, you can switch to Advanced mode, where you can set the Options (of course, you need to do a new scan if you change Scanning options).

Do not use the (logical) drive which has the data that you want to recover, and do not recover to that drive.

My early experience of computing involved saving data to domestic cassette tapes, and learning the necessity of backups. Today I have my recycle bin disabled; when I delete something it is deleted and I have yet to delete something in error. Yet, being paranoid (or sensible?) I have checked out several file recovery programs. Today’s GOTD would definitely NOT be the one I choose to have installed for that inevitable day. By the way, it is worth having one installed as accidentally deleting something then installing a recovery program on the same drive is likely to overwrite what you are trying to recover!

Slapdash app that's seemingly been thrown together: what on earth is the point of recovery software whose results include files that were never lost in the first place? As a commercial software, it's a non-starter; as a download, pointless.

Seems not to be much point to the new ratings system, either: no less than SEVEN different categories to scroll through but with no aggregation at the end and no revelation by any specific 'result' of any specific 'finding' (so why the link???)

It's as meaningful as the daft thumbs up / thumbs down 'system' it replaced, though GOTD is to be congratulated on its honesty in showing user review numbers, pathetically small though they are.

Better all round to scrap any ratings system and let GOTD users make up their own minds based on the comments penned by other GOTDers.
