This software supports many devices, including hard disk, memory card, USB flash drive, Blue-Ray Disk and iPod.
Cons
This data recovery program does not have a disk-imaging tool.
Verdict
MiniTool Power Data Recovery can recover almost all lost data from diverse devices. However, you can’t create a disk image and recover data from the image.
MiniTool Power Data Recovery has some capabilities that other programs don’t have, including recovering data from CD/DVD and restoring data from media devices (such as flash card, flash drive, memory card and iPod). Besides, it can recover data from damaged, formatted and lost partition.
This data recovery program supports IDE, SATA, SCSI and USB connections. After testing this software on several computers, we find Undelete Recovery module can recover a lot of data for us. However, some lost data may not be found by this module. At this time, Damaged Partition Recovery module can help us to find them.
MiniTool also provides Data Recovery Boot Disk. Although a purchase license is needed, it can help you to restore data without operating system.
After testing different recovery tools, we find most recovery software can’t provide preview image to let users clearly identify. However, we can use the file preview option provided by MiniTool Power Data Recovery to quickly find our lost files. Although this software does not display complete images of our files, it displays original file names vertically. This was very helpful in our search for specific files.
There are several choices for you to get technical support. Nevertheless, email is the only way to directly contact the tech support. Of course, you can visit their website to browse articles about tech support. And users can consult support questions through telephone number.
If you are still looking for a data recovery program, MiniTool Power Data Recovery is the best choice for you. It has 5 different recovery modules (Undelete Recovery, Damaged Partition Recovery, Lost Partition Recovery, Digital Media Recovery and CD/DVD Recovery) to recover files from diverse devices. However, if your computer cannot boot, you should turn to bootable CD to recover lost data. And if your PC is severely damaged, you can turn to professional disk-imaging tool to create a disk image and then recover data from the image instead of the original.
